Yep, me too! Still got it and the vinyl ep too! It's kinda beat-up, but still intact. Had lots of use. Thanks Winnie!

| Playing a Sho-Bud Maverick and using Winnie's book was my first stab at pedals after guite some time on non pedal. Problem is I'm 6'7" and there was no way I was gonna get to that one knee lever. Well, that sent me back to non pedal up until right about now. Tom Bradshaw set me up an old BMI S10 3&4 which Herb Steiner would have to stand up to play. So its back to Winnie's world for me!!!!

| Add me to the list of those who started out with the Winnie's book + Maverick equation. Now if only my playing had progressed at all since then! |

Me too.
I bought the book when it first came out.
I didn't have a Steel then, I used it to copy Steel licks on the six string.
Later I decided to do it right.[This message was edited by Joey Ace on 15 March 2004 at 06:03 PM.] |

| First instruction book I owned and one I still use because it's so thorough. Unfortunately, I started on a steel called a Market-Rite which should have more aptly been called a Market-Wrong. Tough one to learn on. steve |

Yep. But it's even better I think after a slighly slower-curve method like Jeff Newman's Up from the Top. It's not really a raw beginner's book. Some of the grips are tough for a greenhorn, and it gets hard fast.
But being more than a beginner's book makes it a good one to come back to as well. The two Danny Boys in different keys is a great resource. |

Count me in. Fats Kaplan gave me his copy that he learned how to play from. I still use it. The trouble shooting pages come in real handy.

Yup, me three. Great book, Winnie. I still enjoy looking through the arrangements, and also the copedants lists and discography in the back.
Now I just wish I could find the other Winnie Book - The Manual of Style - so I can leaf through that for another few years.
ZBest,

Yeah, me too, and I got it in 1975 when it was first published. that was the only PSG book available to me back then and I still use it quite frequently.
Larry, I have the manual of style and I can lend it to you for a couple of weeks.
I'll try to bring it at the SJ jam,
