Ricky,

Your work on Dale Watson's Trucking sessions is outstanding! I am a novice steel player but would love to learn the solo on Big Wheels. Could you please give some hints for playing this beautiful solo?

Well thanks for the compliments Mason. The song is in G and my solo starts as you modulate to A. Here it is off the top of my head.
