Great job, Bill, as always. Thanks for posting all the videos. I really enjoy your playing.

I have recently been working on this song and am struggling with the ending. With the pedals down, you pick the 10th string, then strum 6,5 & 4 and release the pedals. It sounds like the note on the 10th string is not raising with the 'A' pedal. Am I hearing that correctly? If so, would you share with us how you do it?

Well my fiend,

That year off, sure didn't hurt your playing any. A real superb job.

Keep up the mighty fine work!,,,,,,,,, Don

Hi Bill. You are correct. The 10th string is not raised with the 'A' pedal. I raise it with A knee lever...and also lower it with A knee lever. I do raise my 5th string with the 'A' pedal. Pick the 10th string...not raised and with A&B pedals down
strum 6,5&4 and then release A&B pedals. I hope this helps.

Thank you Don for your nice comment. Let me know if I can help you guys with anything.
Bill.

You may want to add the letter "R" between the F & I in fiend.

Bill, that is a dead on version of Buddy's Shenandoah.
Great job. Can you assist me with what you are playing between .34 and .36? I'm not sure if you are sliding to the 4th or 5th fret. I think you might be half pedaling the A pedal then dropping back 2 frets.

Appeciate your help and thanks for posting.
Jerry

Hi Jerry...sorry for the delay. I think what you want to know is this. Go to the 5th fret...pick strings 5.6&8 with the "B" pedal down and the knee lever that lowers the 6th string A hole tone...its the split tuning for the 6th string. then slide down to the 3rd fret while releasing the knee lever...and
adding the "A" pedal. I hope this helps. Let me know if I can help you.
