| Portland OR area steelers can actually get this book from the Multnomah County Library...although I have to admit I counld't make heads or tails of it! Strange teaching/tab style. |

I never understood all the hype about this book. Yes, it's a rare book, but there isn't much useful information in it IMHO. As I remember, about 20% of it is devoted to 6-string slide guitar, and it includes some tab for 6-string slide. There are some interesting pictures of Rusty playing with Poco. There is some interesting text on E9 pedal steel guitar, describing bar techniques, etc. and a few diagrams. There is E9 tablature for a few of Rusty's pedal steel solos with Poco. There is no audio with the book. It was written in 1970s. It's a nice, rare collectable for a pedal steel player who's into that sort of thing, or for a Poco fan, but you won't learn much from it IMHO. You will get 1000% more info on the Steel Guitar Forum and the many pedal steel web sites on the internet.

| I must agree with Doug. Years ago when the book first came out, I was excited to see it as I was a huge Poco/Rusty Young fan. But when I finally got a hold of the book, it really didn't have much in it of any interest after all. |

I'll sell mine for $30 if anyone wants it. I'll pay the shipping. I think it's Day style pedal setup.
