For only playing 2 months, you're doing amazingly well! Keep doing whatever you've been doing.

I've always had the B-Bb on a pedal, next to the A pedal. (It's my Day p4.)

I never cease to be amazed by guitar players! Whoa!

I loved Faron's stuff, and must have played his songs hundreds of times. Here's a few of the ones I remember that we did quite regularly:

With 5+5, there's a TON of music in that little box. I'm with Bob. Fill up the holes, put on a new pad, oil 'er up, and play that sucker!

Cool

Yep, that's how it all began! Mr. Green

...Mr. John Huey used a bar he designed which has a hole drilled in the center to cut weight of bar with larger diameter for easier gripping.

I think that as long as you play it in the lowest register you can, no one will really care. I've played that song a thousand different times, and in three or four different keys, and nobody ever exc ...

Enjoy! Very Happy

Buddy's 10th string is missing! Surprised

(It really shows on some of the cuts.) Probably inaudible because it's in the bass range, and the bass frequencies have been filtered out.

Other than that, ...

Make sure the pickups aren't too close to the strings, as that will give a thin sound, too. The thickness of two U.S. quarters is a good starting distance (between the pickups and the strings), but m ...
