I guess he couldn't get a good steel player so he had to settle for Paul Franklin, Tommy White, or Robby Turner.

Jeff Beck was important enough that Paul Franklin refers to him in his instructional material. That's how much his influence was! | |

Thank you, Michael! Can't wait to try this tuning, it looks like single note passages would work pretty well with the E major scale tones laid out like that.
Thanks again. |

Bob,
Thanks for pointing that out. I meant raising string 7 from F# to G. Not string 4, that would be a bad situation! I think I was counting 4 from the wrong end of the guitar. |
