I'm posting this for my buddy Joe Miraglia who has been at this a few years more than I have.

It's a little known fact but when Caesar burned the Library at Alexandria a single papyrus on the topic of steel guitar survived. The knowledge that papyrus imparted was total steel guitar realization and accomplishment within five minutes . . . and for twenty-five cents!!
I wonder if this is where Joe Wright's wisdom comes from. Image

Gee, if I had know, I could have learned in only 5 minutes from this course I wouldn't have spent all those countless hours practicing the stuff I got from Winnie Winston and Jeff Newman.

That's great. I wish I had it when I was starting.

I had to send in the cover from a book of matches.

Just remember: Bi-valves can't play steel. And if they ask, just say no.
