[Greg Cutshaw]

Another great pocket of notes, common use of minor chord grips and a really cool advanced riff.

Hey Greg, I'm having a great time with all of these. Thanks for posting them. I have a ? on the minor chord grip one. What is the 8+1 9+1 10+1, could you explain how that is supposed to work. Thank you, Will

[Greg Cutshaw]

Will,

Sorry, I forgot to annotate the tab with an explanation. For the +1 stuff, I reach behind the bar and pull on the string to raise it by one half tone. For me, the left hand ring finger works best!

How are you playing that scale in the first example? Are you muting the strings with your palm after each note? Or are you muting with your left hand?

[Greg Cutshaw]

James,

I watched myself play that over again and it seems that I do 2 things. Where there's two notes on the same string, I block the 1st one with my palm before playing the second one.

The second thing is that I tend to use just the nose of the bar on a lot of single string runs. So as I move to a new string, the bar leaves the old string and the left hand mutes the last note on the previously played string.

Thanks Greg for your lap steel posts - I have enjoyed them all. Especially like No Teardrops Tonight and KC Blues. I play along with the rhythm tracks all the time. Great learning/improvisation tool.
