| Anyone have an idea how Norm Hamlett pulls off the intro part on this tune? |

If it's the Merle Haggard version, I almost positive that's a 6 string guitar, not a pedal steel. That's how I play it.

I believe I came across this tablature once. Try a search I'm sure it's in there. If not then I apologize, I'll do some searching of my own too.

**I HAVE NEVER WRITTEN TAB BEFORE - IF THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO WRITE THIS
- P L E A S E LET ME KNOW!! :-)
I believe Norm has done it on a few recording versions of Mama Tried.
I play it on Pedal Steel and twin it with the lead player.

This can also be done "up an octave" for effect with a lead player.
I am not sitting in front of my guitar at the moment. Gosh, I hope that this is right. ha ha

I'll give these a try, thanks.
I did see Merle last spring out in CA, at the CrazyHorse. Norm played the 2nd 1/2 of the intro, and the whole lead break.
I suppose I could've asked him then, but I didn't.

That was James Burton's signature kick-off to the recorded version of "Mama Tried" done on a Telecaster, I believe.

I think that that was Roy Nichols.
James played on Working Man's Blues and Bottle Let Me Down and a few others but I don't think he played on Mama Tried. I may be wrong.
Also, Phil Baugh played on Swingin' Doors.
WHO..can say for sure??
