I lost my copy years ago and now I'm probably down to Jeff's "Dirty Eight" or something like that. Does anyone have a copy they could share here?

| I do but it was written out by my steel teacher in 1979. I'll be home in a couple of days & if someone else hasn't already I can scan it. A great foundation of licks. |

David, back in the '70s, Jeff Newman traveled a lot doing seminars. They were great. He had a handout called "the dirty dozen" which was a selection of take-off points for endless licks based on twelve basic patterns -- or licks. Great, great stuff.

| Looks like it'll be a few more days to get home. Hope they scan ok. My teacher penciled them out on Tab. They'd be worth redoing but I won't have time anytime soon. I'm not concerned with copyright issues as these are just twelve licks my steel teacher tabbed out for me. I remember him saying learn these twelve and you can get through any country gig. I learned them and had a pretty good time. Not long ago I was trying to run through them and was surprised how much I had forgotten. I need to brush up. |

| I think if you take em one measure at a time they'll make sense to you. I don't remember any audio of them except my steel teacher running through them once or twice. Some of them became integral to my picking pretty quick. |

Scott Denniston's post about the Dirty Dozen licks prompted me to dig through some old notebooks for my old copy.
I couldn't find the original copy so I transcribed Scott's copy into a larger format using Tabledit.
I'm happy to see these again - it's been a long time. It dawned on me that some others may enjoy these licks.
I have a .pdf file that I'd be happy to send anyone interested. 6 pages printed.
If you'd like a copy PM me through the Forum with your email address.
Thanks Scott for digging these out... |

| You guys are sure welcome. I didn't have to dig very far though as they were on my stand in front of the steel. Michael I'll pm you. It'd be nice to have a more legible copy. Thanks. |

I was blindsided by the number of you that asked for an enlarged copy of the Dirty Dozen...I may have lost track who I sent it to...
If you asked for a copy but haven't received it yet, please ask again. I'll try to do a better job of tracking.
