It seems like a simple song to play.

The part where he sings "Sometimes I feel like Jesse James"

and then the steel plays

da
da da
da


Can anyone help me out with how to play that? I believe the song is in the Key of B (country tabs shows it in G and also in A but the G is a capoed at the 4th fret on a 6string and although it is a g shape, I believe it is B)

I have been trying different positions around the neck but can't lock onto a good sounding one.

I can't seem to figure out how to use the chord finder or I would just look at that.

Brian did you get any response to this request for tab for this song? I too would like to see the fills tabbed out. It is in the key of 'B' but some of the fills that are being played are evading me also.

For such a simple song, I haven't been able to figure out exactly how and where the steel fills are located.

Thanks

I'll bet if someone would ask really nice, Mickey Adams just might "show" you how it is done. If he has time that is. Man he already does so much for us.

Thanks Bruce, Some of these are real hard to nail down, cause you never know how many takes were done of the same song, same passage, maybe over dubbed. I'm hearing something real high in there also, but did my best to get the essence. DS
