Ok Joey sent me the solo clip and yes indeed; that is a good move Gary M. did.
I don't know when I'll have time to sit down with it; as my LDG is in the studio and the 4 other steels here are apart; then I'm recording and playing gigs all weekend.
Sorry On my part....but I'll send the clip to Jeff to see if he has time.

You're welcome Tony. BTW, the double " ~ ~ " a the beginning means to slide up all the way from the 0 fret to the 5th fret and pick the notes at the 5th fret. A single " ~ " means to slide or pedal, but don't pick the next note. Also, a lot of those single notes that precede a chord are comping notes you play with your thumb for rhythmic punctuation. It's not terribly important whether you play the 6th string or 5th string, though the note I show is the one I think is being played. Since they are comping notes, they tend to not be very distinct.

And Ricky, YOU'RE king. Everyone knows that. I don't know what the heck I am. I had one wierd and unpleasant conversation with a band leader the other day that I'm playing with this Saturday. Remind me to tell you about it next time we talk. .. Jeff
