Wichita Lineman would be a great tune for a workshop. Sign me up for sure. Tasteful arrangement and great playing.

Hopefully, we can talk William into doing this song as a Saturday project tune.

After so many requests to do a Workshop on Wichita Lineman , we will get started putting it together. More than half of my 100+ subscribers to my Broadcast has sent me a PM to do this. If you happen not to be one of my subscribers and have an interest in a Workshop on this tune I would like to know. Respond to this thread or email me.....It takes a god bit of work to put one of these Workshops together. I have Workshops on "The Other Woman" , "I Just Destroyed The World" and "Together Again".

William has noted on his website that he will be doing a workshop on Wichita Lineman, this month. If you are reading this, you've likely heard Mr. Litaker's arrangement of the tune. There is a ton of good stuff in this arrangement that will enhance everyones bag of tricks. It's also a really good song for steel.
A lot of guys are singing Williams praises. Be assured that it is not a cult following. It's people, like me, who are excited about building their skills with William's instruction. It's a great opportunity to become a better player.

| How will we know when the Wichita Lineman starts? Will it be posted here? I'd like to get in on that song from the start. I've heard William on YouTube and love the way he relates a songs melody to the steel guitar. |

Dennis,
I'm sure William will let us know when he will do this song. It usually spreads like wild fire as soon as one of us gets the word. This would be a great project song and hopefully soon.
George
