I've been learning the steel intro from Jamey Johnson's version of "For the Good Times". When Ray Price passed, someone talked about this version on the four and how great the intro is. I agree.
I've been using my ears as well as a YouTube video that Joe Baucus posted, in which he does it on both necks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFNcR2bg68w But there's one part that Joe doesn't play. At the 8 second mark of the video below, the steel culminates an upward run in a real biting chord. I can't figure it put yet. It's not just a matter of figuring it put on E9, because my ears can't even pin doubt which notes are being played. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-tJN2kbatY
It also sounds like it's two steels overdubbed. |

Here it is live... Keep in mind that Eddie Long (Cowboy) is playing his 12 string BMI Universal and can get just about anything he wants on one neck. So sometimes it will be a real stretch to get some of the voicings on a 10 string E9th. But I have to admit Joseph Barcus does a real fine job of figuring things out that would take a lot of us many painstaking hours of trial and error...(thanks Joe)

After looking at that, I think what I'm hearing is the 3rd and 5th of a G chord, more or less. the B and the D. Cowboy Eddie Long does it with a lot of bite on the album version. Hearing that really makes me want to get a 12-string.
I think I can get the sound I want on the E9 neck by being at the 14th fret and striking strings 5 and 6 with the B pedal and then engage the A-pedal halfway right after I strike the strings. I'll have to work on it some more. |

| I had posted to Lee's link a while back. Though Eddie Long played this on a 12 string Uni tuning, I was working it out on the C6 neck. |
