Excellent as usual Mr Davis, keep em coming. I am sure this will be of benefit to some of the more experienced players too.

Thank you guys for the support, I wasn't gunning for any of you "Players" its the Newbies I am after, the ones that sit on the side and say nothing AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!! don't be shy I must have found about 20 of them playable guitars and I am sure some of them come to see what's going on here....
That does not mean I don't appreciate you guys chipping in of course I do, response is the oxygen and lifeblood of any forum lets make sure we keep ours alive.

Thank you Sid, I don't care if its only sympathy I'll still take it maybe there is still a little life left in this forum??? So many that used to post and no longer do I know one or two have given up and several have past but I would still like to see it get busy again......

Well, I managed to carve out a bit of time over the weekend and had some reasonable success! Thanks again John for posting this one - I've had to practise quite a bit to get a couple of the moves as they were new to me, but it seems to be coming together. I will attempt to post a video of my playing along to the karaoke track before the Christmas holidays are over.

Cheers, Sid

John,
I've played normal 6 string guitar for 60 years but Been a 'newbie' lap steel player for only one year, no fancy playing, just plucking along to some old Country records. I appreciate what you do on here with your down to earth approach to playing, you make it look so easy! so thank you.

At 76 years old (should have done this 50 years ago) I am going to 'dip my toes' into the frustrating world of pedal steel guitar ( Ron Bennett is making one for me because I am left handed) it wont be ready until the new year so I have taken on board tips like "nail a cushion to the wall" for when you are banging your head on it! And "keep pictures of your loved ones nearby" so you can recognize them in the street" because you will spend so much time in your room!

Regards,
Baz.

John,
always appreciate anything you "professionals" put up on any of the tabs. I have not been on this tab before as it is always aimed at the PSG players as opposed to the 6 string plank player like me.
I will however browse from time to time just to listen to your clips.
Happy new Year everybody.
Dave.

Great lesson this John. There is a challenge for me for Christmas. I'll get knuckled down to this one.

The tune suits the steel really well.
