Way To Go DOUG.

I Think You Were Having Too Much Fun With This Tune.

Is This The First Time You Have Posted A Tune With Your West Coast Guitar?

Thanks Roger, yes, this is my first youtube post with the West Coast guitar. I've played it on a couple of local recording sessions and had good results. The pickup is a bit hotter than I'm used to though. I'm a single coil guy, and I think this is a humbucker (GeorgeLs).

Doug, your music is a treat.

What a great and creative performance. Byrd to Beaumier.

Wow. Great playing Doug. Nice tone out of the West Coast steel, too. 2 thumbs up, more if I had 'em.

That was a great lesson on the C6/A7.
Never totally understood it til this video.

Thanks Ron, C6/A7 is a great tuning. It's a combination tuning. Skip the C strings, it's A7. Skip the C# string, it's C6.
