Learning to Backup-Fills on E9th

Larry Banks · Post by **Larry Banks** » 5 Jun 2021 12:08 pm

I have played lead guitar for years. Dabbled in pedal steel. I have been learning intros and solos from Mickey and Steel pickers. That said, I want to learn backup fills and runs for country songs... want to improvise like I do on my Tele. Any recommendations?

Take your "go to - best lick" on your 6 stg and work it out on steel. Its all the same notes. They are just in different places! JE:-)>

Paul Franklin E9 course. He teaches a section on pads fills and back ups. What Jim Eaton said is also solid advice.

Get some Ray Price albums and some Conway Twitty albums and learn every lick...

You'll be loaded for bear...
