There's a recurring riff in "Dear Mr. Fantasy by Steve Winwood...I can do it on guitar, but can't seem replicate on pedal steel with the hammerons and bends.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
Gordy |

The low riff that you play on the bottom two strings of the guitar?
If that's what you are referring to you need a 12 string to get the low A and E notes. Either U12 or Extended E9 will work fine but a standard 10 string E9 goes no lower than the B at the 2nd fret of the 5th string on a six string guitar.
Or are you talking about another lick?

Larry...
Yes, that's the one. Starts on a low E, hammer on the 3rd, hit the A string, bend the C on the A string, repeat, and hit the A chord.
I just can't find those notes on E9...
Guess I know why, now.
Thanks. |

Try it an octave higher than the guitar.
Open 8th,
Hammer on 3rd fret, then play the 7th st @ 3rd fret
Then the 6th string @ 3rd fret with the B pedal
etc, |

That's why I've never been able to relate to 10 string E9. I'M A GUITAR PLAYER. I'm used to 'low guitar E' and really feel limited without it.
I can play that lick (with the low string hammer and bend/slur sound on the next higher string) exactly like Winwood plays it. It's on the 11th and 10th strings of the E9/B6 U12 tuning.
(dude, get a 12 string)
