Here is one I tried to learn from Mr. Newman a few years back....

Hard to stay on top of this one!

Tie A Yellow Ribbon

Good Job.. I don't think i would ever be able to play that one..

Nice job picking on that song William.
Looks like you recorded that several years ago back before you had a beard.

I did that in 2010. Was not as gray back then....Almost forgot I tried that one !

Wow! That song is full of good licks! William can not only play this stuff, he's any excellent teacher and can break it down with his method that makes it so easy to learn and be able to play it yourself.

I keep hoping William will do some steel shows and have seminars for beginners and advanced players, but he's so busy with his online teaching. I've learned a lot from him, and you can too....and the cost is so affordable.

If you're going to learn to play this thing, learn it the right way. You'll thank yourself later.

Hey Rick,
You’re telling the truth. William should be able to play some seminars and/or shows but he’s so tied down to his weekly broadcast. It would be a drag for everyone who couldn’t make it and they’d miss a broadcast. Maybe we could somehow make his seminar/show into the broadcast.

I can’t remember what I was doing in 2010, but I wasn’t trying to play ‘Tie A Yellow Ribbon’! Great rendition William.

Wow.. thanks guys for the nice words.

Check it out every week....pedalsteeler.com

Great Song! William has provided to me, and I bet for others, the CONFIDENCE needed to be able to play this instrument without going completely insane while trying to learn on it. I’m “confident” that all of us can learn to play Tie A Yellow Ribbon—-I’m also confident that there is absolutely NO way I would ever attempt this tune without William’s help. So, let’s jump in with both feet and Tie that Ribbon!

Most likely we will not do this one on Steelin Techniques.
We have a bunch of good ones coming up after Unchained Melody!!
Join Us !

Nice job once again William!

Nice William, Jeff Newman would be proud.
He did a lot for steel guitar and as well you have.
Passing on his knowledge and yours.

Thanks guys....

Very nice, William! I like it better than the original.
