Nice! I'm relatively new to blues fingerpicking (this is getting harder to say as I approach two years at it) and I aspire to this level of playing. I don't know how close I'll get (I'm not single minded about fingerpicking - I enjoy lots of other types of playing as well, and I'm better at other stuff), but I hope I get into your league of making it sound easier than it is...

Great stuff BK! You make that Waterloo sound great. I never could find one that I wanted to take home.

Thanks Doug!
You have reminded me that the ladder braced Waterloos are sensational for slide...they just sing and scream in a very ‘vocal’ way because of the bracing. A certain commitment for slide is needed though - I prefer a thicker string on the 1st at least and that will pull the action up a bit. BluesKing777.

Thanks Ben!
And great to see another ladder braced Waterloo owner! Bill Collings just nailed the whole 'idea' - and mine still has the factory setup...kudos, kudos and more kudos where due.  BluesKing777.

Thanks Bob!
The melody is a bit of a cross between something like 'Betty and Dupree' and 'St Louis Blues'..... BluesKing777.
