I really appreciate that advice. As soon as my grandaughter is able to get over here I will put her to work and let you know if it is successful. Sounds like a great idea!

Thanks Jack, when my grandaughter comes over tomorrow I will ask her to try that. For me I am not sure what it all means!

Thanks for the info Walter, I downloaded the info but still cannot get a driver to work.

I have had a Musicpad pro tablet for about 6 years and found it satisfactory but then my computer crashed and I have had to reload everything I had onto a new computer. When trying to load the Musicp ...

A nicer person I have never met. Best of luck Rick.

He and Kimio Eto made a beautifu record. Eto was fantastic on the Koto and Bud Shank's flute complemented it perfectly. I highly recommend it.

I can send you the sheet music if you send me your email address. Mine is DESolley@yahoo.com

I noticed a ten-string Gibson guitar beside the Alkire ten string. I assume it is of approximately the same vintage. Does anyone know who played one and what tuning they used on it? I was always un ...

Thanks Michael, I will order those right away.

Thanks Mark, I will certainly try to find that book.

I would like to see a book of instructions for, fill-ins, turn-arounds, Chord progressions, etc., but not in tablature but in notation. Is there such a book?

Thanks to all of you for your help. It is interesting to learn that there were so many different people that this could have been. Just shows how many fascinating people play the steel.

A friend of mine found this photo amongst some old post cards and photos. She has no idea who it is or what type of guitars are in the picture. Could anyone help identify the person or guitars?

Bryan, I agree with you that the goal is to play without any aid such as notes or tablature. However, to reach that goal I feel I need some help along the way and my preferred method is with notes. ...

Thanks Andy. I am trying to learn the Alkire tuning and need musical notation. I was hopeing to find some course/book that had fill-ins, intros, etc., written in notation. Backing up a singer is wh ...

Do any on these instructional books mentioned have musical notation or are they all with tablature only?

I am surprised that no one has mentioned the Alkire tuning! Sixty different chords at one fret with no slanting seems pretty impressive to me. Mae Lang, Ron Schiedler, and Roy Thomson do pretty darn ...

Check your email Michael, I am interested.

Thanks to all who have responded to my requst for assistance. You have given me a lot of things to look into and I will check out the CDs of Derek Truck. This Forum is sure great!
