Guess there aren't any advanced players here.
For sure I am not

Is that the same Mississippi as recorded by Pussycat ?

I'm Not Sure, I Only Know The One Version.
Harold

Maybe yer thinking of Mississippi by Barbara Mandrell. There is a Youtube of this around here. E9th fer sure.

I didn't even know that the song was covered by Barabara Fairchild.
The original was by the Dutch band Pussycat, Steel player on the original was Frans Doolaard.
That still doesn't answer your question though.....

In that audio clip on Amazon, the steel guitar slide sounds like strings 5,6,8 on the E9 neck.

I Wish I Could Post A Audio Clip Of The Intro
