Very good Bill. Impressive!!
Are you picking with natural nails or
transparent plastic?
Nice tone anyway.

| Roy, I started growing my nails a few months ago. The picks were getting in the way, and I began to love the tone and control I got with bare fingers. Thanks so much. |

| I've never run into a steel that had the amazing tone of that eharp. Something about the build and the valco pickups. Neither of the other eharps models had it the way this one does. Highly recommend this steel to anyone who wants unique but killer tone. they go for less than $600. |

Hmm, might have to go shopping for another eharp!
Well, I really like the one i have, except for .. the pickup.
So when you approach a tune like that, do you start with a Real book/lead sheet or transcribing melody and solos, or put down your own backing track, or how do you do it?

| Gene, I start with the real book to get the chords and melody, then I put the chords in Ireal pro for the backing tracks, everything I am playing is improvised. It is different every time I play it, |
