Hi All,
I hope I am posting in the right section.
I was at the jamboree in Dallas last week and I purchased anothe couple of Herby's courses,namely 25 intros and turnarounds and 100 licks and runs.I already have a few other courses by Herby and I am lost for the correct words to describe his "stuff"
This is the Best I have encountered.i would certainly recommend these courses to anyone,I have learned some very worthwhile licks which have put real feeling into my playing.
Herby must be good 'cause I am usually very critical of my own playing but I am more than pleased with the results I am getting.
Thank you Herby.
See you next year at Dallas
Best regards
Billy |

| Hey Billy, just to add to your remarks about Herby, I have also used his instruction as well as others and quite agree with you, his material is superb and easy to understand even a hacker like me can learn to play some of the nice and pretty melodies that have been recorded. One of these days I might even try some of the faster songs. {Maybe} And Herby is one of the nicest gentlemen of the steel guitar I have had the pleasure of knowing too! |

Thanks guys, and I do appreciate the compliments on my courses. I have been doing instruction courses since 1969 and it is always nice to hear these responses.

I've known Herby for a long time, he puts evrything into his work and a lot of thought. You can learn a lot from his courses and it will be right on.
I highly reccomend them.

It was five years ago when, after nearly thirty years of playing just E9th, I bought my current D10 Emmons.
I'm not a 'tab' kind of guy, preferring to figure things out for myself but, acknowledging the huge task ahead of me, I made an exception....
There were two 'pieces' that taught me where everything lay on C6 - one was Buddy E's 'Right or Wrong' and the other was Herby's 'Dear Heart'.
I'm indebted to both these guys for getting me started, and I love the way the chords are voiced on Herby's stuff.
I haven't seen him in a while since moving to the Golf Coast  , but he's one of the nicest guys in our steel community!
Buy ALL his stuff!!!

| I have an original Emmons course by Herby Wallace that I acquired in 1972 or 1973. It's complete with an LP back-up record. Wildwood Flower, Bud's Bounce, Another Bridge to Burn, Born to Lose and others. It's good stuff and helped the learning curve tremendously. |

| I don't think that it gets any better than Herby's music. I've been a fan of Herby's for decades. |

Yes indeed, I have that same Emmons course where Herby "arranged" the steel. "Born to Lose", that's not just practise stuff, that's radio playin' music to my ears. The world should hear it!
I played it for my dad years ago, and we both agreed Herby's "Born to Lose" raises the hair on the back of your neck [This message was edited by Ray Minich on 23 March 2006 at 12:45 PM.] |

| Herby's tab work is outstanding. The tab matches the the work 100%. Jody. |

I practiced with Herbie's courses quite a bit. I especially love his arrangements of The Way We Were and You Don't Know Me. He has a way of really bringing out the song's melody.

| We always love watching and listening to Mr. Wallace play when he comes to town for Scotty's Steel Guitar benefit shows . It was neat to watch his left hand vibrato work . I bought several of his courses at the last show and just ordered a couple more from Scotty . When Herby played his last song he personally thanked the local musicians for backing him up and announced each of their names to the audience.

Herby's stuff is wonderful - great arrangements & beautiful chord voicings. A couple of the songs I played in Dallas were based on his tab. I owe him a big "Thank you".

Herby is the man, I believe I have all of Herby's instructional stuff in E9th. Besides that, he has some of the best listening cds. Nothing better than popping in one of Herby's cds when I am taking off on a trip. Half way across the country before I know it. Only one problem, on some of those toe tappers, I'll look down at the speedometer and see that I am just a "little" over the limit. Herby, do you pay speeding tickets? I tried to tell him it was your fault. HAHA

| He has the best instruction. Some others just get you started, but Herby teaches a lot of great stuff you can use at all levels. |

Get the C6 course. Sometimes I just leave it going on the stereo and listen.
Also, did Herby ever sing? He has a great speaking voice. |
