New Paper by Tom Bradshaw: "Tuning Tips & Tuners"

Post by John McClung »

Tom Bradshaw has written another free paper that is available for all steelers to read. I was one of Tom's reviewers of the paper. It is uniquely informative and I heartily recommend it. Check it out at: www.songwriter.com/bradshaw/chord_construction.php

Don't quit now, George, you're already ¼ of the way through! 🙄 Tom is nothing if not thorough. But so generous with his knowledge and resources. --- John

Well, even after a dozen pages more I haven't read anything I disagree with. So chances are Tom and I agree on most when it comes to tuning.

Tom's writing style is so much like Maurice Anderson's, it's almost as if there's been a re-incarnation!

Only a tad too much self-deprecation ;-).



Much tanks for this and everything else.

Everything Tom touches is first class.
I sincerely appreciate all that he does for the steel guitar community for FREE.

So if you need to purchase a product that Tom sells, please consider buying from him.
