Yep, me too! Still got it and the vinyl ep too! It's kinda beat-up, but still intact. Had lots of use. Thanks Winnie!

Playing a Sho-Bud Maverick and using Winnie's book was my first stab at pedals after guite some time on non pedal. Problem is I'm 6'7" and there was no way I was gonna get to that one knee lever. Well, that sent me back to non pedal up until right about now. Tom Bradshaw set me up an old BMI S10 3&4 which Herb Steiner would have to stand up to play. So its back to Winnie's world for me!!!!

Add me to the list of those who started out with the Winnie's book + Maverick equation. Now if only my playing had progressed at all since then!

Count me in. Still have it, minus the cover and a few of the copedent pages in the back. Ed Mahonen, a b@njo player, turned me on to it. Great book. Thanks Winnie.

My copy is sitting on the shelf right above me. Thanks to Winnie Winston and Bill Keith for all the hours we spent "together" trying to teach me this "crazy thing"!

Winnie's was the first for me. I learned from his book, on an old green sho-bud LDG.

still got mine to.

Me too.
I bought the book when it first came out.
I didn't have a Steel then, I used it to copy Steel licks on the six string.

Later I decided to do it right.[This message was edited by Joey Ace on 15 March 2004 at 06:03 PM.]

First instruction book I owned and one I still use because it's so thorough. Unfortunately, I started on a steel called a Market-Rite which should have more aptly been called a Market-Wrong. Tough one to learn on. steve

Me too.

Yep. But it's even better I think after a slighly slower-curve method like Jeff Newman's Up from the Top. It's not really a raw beginner's book. Some of the grips are tough for a greenhorn, and it gets hard fast.

But being more than a beginner's book makes it a good one to come back to as well. The two Danny Boys in different keys is a great resource.

Count me in. Fats Kaplan gave me his copy that he learned how to play from. I still use it. The trouble shooting pages come in real handy.

Larry Chung · Post by **Larry Chung** » 15 Mar 2004 7:11 pm

Yup, me three. Great book, Winnie. I still enjoy looking through the arrangements, and also the copedants lists and discography in the back.

Now I just wish I could find the other Winnie Book - The Manual of Style - so I can leaf through that for another few years.

ZBest,

Me too. Got it right here.

Me too. I think I need to go through it again

David Nichols · Post by **David Nichols** » 15 Mar 2004 9:19 pm

Yep. Still have it, minus the floppy. Think I'll check eBay and see if I can get a new one with the CD!

Edward Efira · Post by **Edward Efira** » 15 Mar 2004 9:27 pm

Yeah, me too, and I got it in 1975 when it was first published. that was the only PSG book available to me back then and I still use it quite frequently.
Larry, I have the manual of style and I can lend it to you for a couple of weeks.
I'll try to bring it at the SJ jam,
Ed
