That's a very nice medley.
Btw, I like your intro to "Mama Tried" with the open strings. Before this, I thought it could only have been played on standard guitar.

Good stuff. Nice arrangement, nice track, tasteful playing, and impressive licks. I know William does this all himself, live webcam production, without editing and overdubs..... and how good it turns out. This is probably why he has such a consistent and growing following on his weekly online instructional broadcast. Jeff Newman would likely be doing this if he was still with us. William has taken steel guitar instruction into the cyber age.

FYI: William plays the song then teaches it step be step, and provides the video and rhythm track so you can learn it on your own schedule and at your own pace.
Where can you get an hour of instruction, video, and rhythm track for $5.00???..... and there's a new one every week.

If you are learning to play, (or maybe trying to learn and not getting anywhere), or are a good player looking for some pro licks, I'd recommend William's teaching to you.

Thats right,Rick. William is a goldmine of knowledge and I like his laid back,down home approach to teaching.Always full of encouragement. He also sends you the tab in a PDF file you can download and keep for study / reference. All for the price of a footlong sub!
Twang to the bone!
