Hi All
When I first posted this tune,I played the Lead on my Strat and used the Steel for the chords.
It was suggested by someone that I should play the Lead on the Steel,not the Strat,so here it is.
I think the intonation may go out in some places,but your comments would be more than welcome.
Considering I have only been playing 7 weeks,I don't think it's too bad,but there is room for improvement.
Thanks for listening.

Alan this is terrific. Most impressive, even (or perhaps especially) for a seasoned guitarist, is your bar intonation which is superb throughout. Great tone, great blocking, the whole thing.
Man, I wish I was doing this well! I can't think of anything to suggest for your next step except maybe steal a few ideas for runs and licks from the greats. That always works!

| Alan, sounds great man! Your intonation and timing sounds right on to me. I've always liked that tune and might give it a whirl myself. Thanks for the inspiration. |

Fantastic!
It reminds me of the more traditional-style playing.
Applause.

Good job Alan, I'm proud of you. Your intonation sounds like you had been playing a lot longer, but I know when you started. Keep doing what you're doing, maybe work on some scales to add a little single string lead. The steel you bought sounds good to me.

Wish I'd learned lap steel when I still had a lap. |
