Good question...

That is a cool song and it is picking up in popularity by getting more airplay!

Looking for the TAB.....

That is a great song. I could probably relate to it.

The only thing I know for sure is that I have to play this tune onstage in about 2 hours.. never looked at it before, but this is close, I think... let me know:

The very last 1A gets pumped several times for effect.
Close?

John, Great job! ... Also, I noticed you tabbed it in G... The song on the CD is in F#. If you drop everything down a half you play the last part of the run using open strings. It looks easy enough on tab but getting the right feel for this run definately takes a little effort.
For me anyway!

Hi John, What did you do on the break ? Thanks, William

Thanks John ! I have been going nuts trying to find this. I guess I just don't think that way. I really appreciate the tab.

John Steele · Post by **John Steele** » 1 Apr 2002 10:34 am

BobG, thanks for the heads-up on that. I guess the working tape I listened to was a bit fast.

Hehe... I hit my neck switch, plastered a big smile on my face, and pretended I was Bobby Garrett

If I have time this week, I'll see if I can cop that solo and tab it out. It's got a very cool little tritone thingie right in the middle of it.
By the way, the audience reaction to this song was very positive !

I hear ya...I closed my eyes and pretended I was somewhere else ! That really goes over big ! Thanks for your help........William

BobG · Post by **BobG** » 2 Apr 2002 4:29 am

John, I'm curious.. When you played this song "live" how are you guys covering the the Dobro fills in the first verse? Are you doing them on steel or do you have another instrument doing the fills?
I've got 2 weeks before my band will be breaking this song out.
For what it's worth i've been using the "Riff Master" alot on this one.
I, for example, can throw that ending run into a "loop" and play against it for as long as I need. And slow it down while maintaining pitch. It's definately a big help
when trying to pickup the subtleties of a particular run. And this particular run definately has it's share.

John , Is that what that is a "tritone". Some of the guys in my band was wondering how the song would go over in a club setting. Glad to see the crowd went for it !Thanks John , I hope you get time to get the rest of this great steel tune tabbed out. William

A couple of notes;
- This is written in F#, as per the recording. If your band plays it in G, of course you can crank it all up one fret.
- Would someone please identify the steeler on this cut; because I think it contains some refreshing ideas in an age where everyone complains about vanilla playing.
Hats off.
- BobG, although I haven't really organized my own part very well yet, I suppose I'll cop the dobro parts in the first verse with a Matchbro, if I can possibly get the lead player to back off for 5 seconds

- William, I'm not sure how serious your comment was about the tritone, but once you are familiar with them, your ears tell you right away that's what's going on there...which of course helps you to find it faster. If you would like one of my lengthy boring discourses on Tritones, just say the word

- Jim Bob, when you said "I guess I don't think that way", I meant to mention this as well; Much like finding the tritone subs easier when you recognize them by sound, the same applies to that bluesy feel of the ending lick. I'd be willing to bet the producer requested something "bluesy" there, which calls for 7ths, flattened thirds, and also flattened 5ths sometimes. The two most common positions for those sounds on the E9th neck are: Three frets above open position, with your A pedal down as the root, and 2 frets below the open position, with the 7th string as the root. And, if you look at that lick, that's exactly what's going on there.
I'd like Ricky or Jeff or somebody to have a look at that tab, and see if I've got it right, as I don't tab much E9 stuff.
And finally, my usual disclaimer: I'm not much of a steel player, and make no claims of knowledge of it... but I hope this helps.
-John

Hi John, You say you are "not much of a steel player" I don't know so much about that. The break in that song really moves, Especially the parts I think you are talking about as "tritones". Yes I would like you to discuss the "tritone" thing. I think everyone will agree that you did an excellent job on this tune. It really does express some different ideas that you do not hear everyday. Who the player is I do not know. Thanks again John , You are my hero as Jeff and Ricky are. You guys are great as this Forum is also. William Litaker

John Steele · Post by **John Steele** » 11 Apr 2002 10:57 am

William, thank you, you're very kind. Truth be told, it will be a while before I can play this solo correctly, as I find my bar control is not up to snuff yet.

One of the lurkers wrote me a note

The steel player who gets the Forum Award for Originality is Mike Johnson.
My compiments to him.

wlitaker · Post by **wlitaker** » 12 Apr 2002 2:37 am

Thanks John , This solo is difficult not only for bar movement but also the picking style. I use a two finger techique on most speed licks. This lick requires the use of three fingers. More of a backward roll on the third fret , at least that is the way I have been working on it. Do you agree ? Did anyone ever come up with who did this on the album ? Thanks John for your work on this tune. I think we have pretty much disected the crap out of these licks ! I luv it though ! ! William Litaker Kannapolis N.C.

John:

What were you doing on the E9th neck?

Couldn't you work a VII#9 in there?

Jeff, I'm not sure... a weak moment I guess. I've turned up in some wierd places lately. But I had a look at that there E9th tuning, and it has it's interesting points. I predict that someday it'll catch on, big time.

I've tried your e-mail suggestion, but I've been experiencing technical difficulties in confirming it.

I'll second Jim's motion.

It should be a new topic.

I'd like Ricky or Jeff or somebody to have a look at that tab, and see if I've got it right, as I don't tab much E9 stuff.

John, can you send a .mp3 as an e-mail attachment? Thanks, Jeff

John Steele · Post by **John Steele** » 18 Apr 2002 9:55 am

Jeff, thank you for your kind offer. I would feel better if somebody with ears like yours would look this over

Unfortunately, I haven't got the technology to make an MP3 and send it, although I'll bet someone in here has. Any volunteers ? Thanks !
