Here are some tasty things that Earl used for much of his backup playing and it's beautiful. More to come as Earl had so much imagination...Jack

Teardrop Backup and Rolls






Jack, when I tried to open this file I got an error message that I didn't have the latest version of TablEdit and it closed out the file.  I figured I needed a new version of TefView, so I went to the site to download it and there isn't even one listed - just an iOS and Android version.  Any idea what's going on with that?  



Thanks.



John

John, I downloaded the file qnd tried to open with TefView.  The error message said I was using ver. 3.03 b1 and needed ver. 3.03 b3.  The TefView web site does not indicate the version of the available file.  I downloaded the 64-bit version for Windows and the TEF file loaded immediately. Give that a try.

Hi John,


All I can tell you is that for either version if you use tabledit files, is to purchase it for about 68 dollars or close. I've never downloaded the free Tefviewer demo. My new students download the demo version successfully and don't seem to have that problem. I think yours is that you need to update more frequently for either version--Mac or Windows....Jack

Thank for putting this together, Jack!  I'm trying to expand my backup lick vocabulary and this is a great study!  Now that I've got TefView sorted out I can start working on it.

Ah, great John. It's difficult to nail Earl's backup down as he does something different in almost every song or break he plays....Jack
