I haven't showed up there in 6 years. I had a great excuse for a long time but Sunday's are starting to open up again.
No, I'm not out on parole.
There are a few things that all steel players, do amateurs and pros. One of those is adjust their levers, pedals and do at least minor maintenance. I would be interested in knowing how some others have their guitars set up. Mostly I have just guessed.
Most steel players use tab. There are different types of tab and some are better than others. Some sources are better than others. It might be good to have a discussion. A lot of us use Tabledit. I don't know the program that well but somebody else might. I use tab a lot because my memory is so bad. Those are just a couple of thoughts.
Unless something happens between now and then I am planning on coming.

I have had another request to go over Tabs.
There will be at least a run through on the different tab lingo models. I will be doing some work based on Scotty's Steel Anthology.
There will be another person running over some different materials also.
The group can decide what areas it can go into and we have alot of material and resources at our disposal. Including private lessons with Rodger Edgington!
Thank you James we look forward to seeing you. |

It is amazing how some of the best stuff out there is overlooked just because it has been around so long. IMO Scott' E9 backup book is the best thing out there for learning fills. It is hardly ever mentioned. The tab in it is flawless and it has music notation as well. Supposedly some where in the cosmos, there is a C6 version of the same songs. It is out of print of course. I don't have it but I would love to find a copy.

Thanks James, I was planning to be there, but now may have a conflict. I will have to "play it by ear"

Thanks James. I was planning to attend this session, but something has come up for the weekend. I will have to "play it by ear" at this point on whether I can be there Sunday. I may have to wait until the next one. |
