Tonight, All Day Long

Post by Steve Feldman »

Here's a stab at a Dale Watson song - off of the 'Cheatin' Heart Attack' CD. Steel Courtesy of Marty Rifkin. It's waltz time, fellers!

That's pretty dang good Steve; just a typo on the first line, I guess you meant for the "A" pedal on fret 5 and 7 instead of "B" pedal. I haven't played that solo since I first started learning Dale Watson material. I did learn it like that cause it is a beautiful steel part; but I play it different but still keep some of the frases Marty played. We seldom do that song; but every now and then, we pull it out.
Great song; great singer and great job Steve on the tab.

Typo fixed. I knew I couldn't get away clean. Thanks, Ricky. I had a ball with this one. The songs I get fired up about just kind of find me. Writing tab does 2 things for me: 1) it causes me to learn a piece with some INTENTION, instead of just steamrolling over it, and 2) it's a great way to watch yourself progress - doing things that you couldn't even think about just a short time ago. Trouble is, it's a long process for me - I can sure appreciate the volume of material you've already generated yourself.
