This tuning is E Major and is common to slide players. Ben Harper uses it for several songs on his Weissenborn. He also uses D Major....D-A-D-F#-A-D. I have my Weissenborn tuned to the D Major version and switch to E Major with a capo on second fret.

Outstanding. Fills in some gaps on Bill's thoughts, involvement and influences.

I saw BTO at the CNE in Toronto in 1975. They were the warm up for The Beach Boys! Total contrast in musical styles but boy did they rock.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILL!!🎸 I just celebrated mine on the 15th (68) with lots of Guitar playing and listening to your catalogue.

Not the same. I always thought it as an abstract drawing of Man.

Ordered!! Images look fantastic. Shipping is a bit dear but I am sure the book will be worth it.

I am a bit tardy but Happy Birthday Bill from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. Stay safe.....and young!!!

Thanks for the link Steve

@machman767 I need to check it out. My EBow prowess is still rudimentary. Wish I had a lesson or two from Bill!!

I read that Hope is a reflective track with David Crickmore’s E-bow guitar (he was taught by Bill Nelson).

love not live

It is incredible. My first semi-hollow body. Retirement/birthday/Christmas present. I am a basement guitar wannabe so I do not sound at all like Bill, although I would live to.

Does this not have a significant impact on Bill's revenue income if the full box set is available for download at such a low cost (even if it is mistake)? Fair support of the artist is very important to me.

I played around more with the controls some more and you are correct with the orientation of the lower left and upper two dials below the bridge as separate pickup volume controls, in the same left to right sequence as the pickups, and lower right dial is a single master tone control. I must have been had a senior's moment while I was trying to figure it out. Thanks again..

Thanks Jim for the feedback. Master control is what it should be. Alternate wiring is what I think is causing me my confusion as the others are not symmetrical as far as I can tell. . No answer yet from Eastwood.

Yes thanks Alec. I am confused with which volume/tone dials are for the different 5 way switch. Doesn't make sense to me so I wonder if there is a problem. Sent a note to Eastwood for direction.

Well i just turned 65 on Dec 15 and concur with Bill's comments. My mind is young and my family (especially my grandson) keep me going. That and Bill's music. Happy birthday in advance (a few hours).

Glad to learn it was filmed and will be made available. Techno problems arise at the most inconvenient times. Keep well. Cheers

No streaming at my end. Contacted the Inplayer service desk and they said there was a problem at the site. Due to technical difficulties at the venue, the concert was not live-streamed. However, we have contacted the publisher of the event regarding the availability of a VOD of the full concert Not sure whoito contact next? Hopefully they sort it out for VOD soon.
