"That's Why I'm Walkin"-Ricky Skaggs-Terry Crisp Steel

Post by Jeff Garden »

Here's a request for Charlie Hall - hope it's close. "(Angel On My Mind) That's Why I'm Walkin'" is off Ricky Skaggs' 1988 album "Comin' Home To Stay" with some real nice Terry Crisp steel.
There's a cool move at the bottom of page 2 from 7AB to 6ABD to 5D where things all sort of morph together.
Questions, comments, and corrections always welcome.
Here it is on youtube

When the solo starts there is definitely a open drone string thing used extensively for the better part of the solo. If your playing over a B chord you have plenty of great options on top. F# is the 5th D# is the 3rd and A with the B pedal is the Dom 7. Terry Crisp played his ass off on this track! Fearless and creative playing to the max. Some of the best tone and touch I’ve ever heard. Would love to know what he was playing, sounds like a push pull to my ears.

Thanks, guys!

Brett - I thought something was missing to fatten up the solo and an open drone string fits that nicely. Thanks :)
