Cool intro in today's lesson. I really enjoyed it.
And, of course, we're all waiting for the Policarpo Boot Blockin' pedal...

I broke my pot pedal's string boot blockin' today. Fortunately I got a roll of the stuff laying around. Re-attaching that bugger is always a pain, but nothin' else makes a chord disappear and reappear like a good old Okie boot block.  |

Great lesson last Saturday. The new word for the week is "Behoove". I did not realize William was also an English teacher.
If you want to play steel better, checkout the weekly Steelin Techniques. You will like it. |

So Afraid Of Losing You is a fun song to play.
It's been kind of quiet this week. I wonder what's in store for this coming Saturday.
Hey Dan, how's the pedal doing?
George

Restrung and I had to re-solder the ground. I guess it comes with the territory of a good ol' boot block. |

Dang, Joey...I just noticed the collection of steels you have!
I worked on my Stage One a little this week and got the tension a little tighter and the throw just a little longer. I don't like it when the pedals go down too easy, when they are too sensitive. It ain't Emmons, but it ain't bad. |

Check it out, folks. William does a real nice variety of songs that aren't easy to play. You will really learn some things.
George

Daniel I'm worst than a kid in the candy store when it comes to steels. I hardly see one that I don't like or want. Bad habit!!!!!!!!!!

| Ha, it'd be too easy! I am perfectly fine with the sound and play-ability of my little old Stage One. It's got all I need for honky tonk stuff I like to play, but I am seriously thinking about getting an MSA Classic or Vintage XL. And then I see a nice Charleton style Sho-Bud come up and it's jsut too crazy of a selection, especially if you're basically judging on looks and an educated guess as far as sound. I know what Chalker and Charleton sound like on those great instruments, but I'm not going to sound like that, no matter what steel I get! |

Man, that was something else today. I've already played through #233 twice. That Emmons/Claude (not Claudia ) Gray tune is fantastic. In fact, I had never heard of Claude Gray until today and I'm finding all sorts of great stuff he's done on youtube. He is definitely a friend to the steel guitar and apparently still performing.
Thank you for requesting him Mr. Larry Robbins!
Buddy's sound is so wicked here:

After William mentioned Claudia Gray in yesterday's lesson, I just had to find out who she was; Claudia Gray is a pseudonym for Amy Vincent, a young adult paranormal romance author, best known for the Evernight series. Not even close to Claude Gray! Curious minds just have to know.

| Great session today. No problems on the playback. The graphic drawings of the picking and bar hand technique was awesome. Really like the backup and fills! |

Anyone struggling with that Intro? Might take me another week to get it to sound good.
