The teaching can also benefit those of you who may be proficient on the C6th neck. It will expand your grasp of the E9th tuning.

Night Life DVD
Designed for those who have a 10 string pedal steel with E9th tuning but want to add some versatility with C6th sounds. In this video version, Billy plays Night Life in high definition with picture-on-picture, covering every part of the song in explicit detail. The course is comprised of a 16 track DVD, 16 track audio rhythm CD and tablature.
This course and the Night Life audio course are complementary. The arrangement is the same but the instructional material in each differs.
“After listening to the CD and looking at the tablature of Billys version of Night Life, I have concluded that it is the best version of this song I have come across. The tablature is very easy to read and the CD is excellent quality. I highly recommend this instruction course to all players.”
