Tom,
That's what I've been saying all along, Learn The Neck. Outside of that how
have you been?

Yo, Resomaniacs!
3 or 4 years ago, I ran into Junior Barber at the Darrington
Bluegrass Festival
here in Washington. It's located up in Tarheel country in the
foothill of the
Cascade Mts. We got to talking reso and I asked Junior what kind of
capo
he used. He said, "I don't use a capo." So, I said, "what do you
do when
you want to play in Eb? He said, "I do this.." and launched into Steel
Guitar Rag in Eb... then he played it in Bb, Ab, etc etc... all
over the
fingerboard. It didn't matter where he was. He was very comfortable
playing anything anywhere on the neck... didn't matter. There's a
lesson
here for the procrastinators among us... ( who, me? : > )
I recount this story to illustrate the importance of that terrific
little comment
Wayne made
==> Learn the neck and get off learning tunes and learn
the instrument <==
probably ought to frame that and hang it on the wall where I can see
it when
I open my reso case... sigh-h-hhh
Tom, muttering away somewhere in the NW
