Greetings from AGW World HQ! There's quite a bit to tell you this time,
so sit back...
Unfortunately, I won't
be at CAAS
this year. Due to back problems, I'm unable to travel. Here's the list
of who will be there. And
here's hoping for a great 32nd annual
convention- hope to see you there next year! In the meantime, enjoy
Chet doing some Nashville pickin'.
Here’s a great video
about the history of country/rockabilly guitar.
It’s from Albert Lee's Country Guitar
Heroes of History, and features
Chet, Merle, and a host of other players. (Albert has also said that
Jerry Reed was a major influence on his double-stop Tele style.)
For a limited time,
when you order any The View From Here package
(CD,
CD/book, CD/limited edition hardcover book, or download), we’ll send
you a free download of my Fingerpickin’
album, with notation/tab for
all 19 tunes. Now that’s a deal! (We only have a handful of the
hardcover editions of The View From Here left.)
“If you don't have the CD, get it! You won't
regret it!” -A.W.
Also for a limited
time, all Lick of the Week
downloads (including Reed
Licks from LOTW) are 40% off, so get ‘em while they’re hot!
"Great! The first lick was worth the price of
admission!" -F.R.
While we’re at it,
might as well toss in the Reed
Download Bundle
again. Separately these downloads would total over $50, but in this
special bundle, you get everything for only $29.95. Includes
notation/tab, performance notes and chord diagrams, and mp3 audio.
“... by the way, I LOVE those materials in
your Reed bundle! There was more than I expected!” -R.D.
If you’ve been thinking
about ordering a Sand Craig
Dobbins Signature
Model guitar, now is a good time! Kirk will be taking orders for
the
next batch of guitars at CAAS,
and I’m sure he’d love to put
your name on the list. See him in Nashville, or contact him here.
I can’t begin to tell you how happy I've been with this instrument- it’s a
joy to play. And it smells great, too! (Mediterranean cypress,
Brazilian rosewood, Sitka spruce and red cedar, don’t you know.)
Well, better get back to pickin’. Hope to hear from you soon!
And as Paul Yandell used to say, "See you on down the road."
P.S. Another great video clip, thanks to Reed aficionado Phil
Hunt: Jerry Reed pickin’ and singin’ Are
You From Dixie on the Glen
Campbell Goodtime Hour, plus Jerry and Glen dueting on Talk About The
Good Times. Son!
