The Steel Guitar Forum

Anyone know how to play this?

It seems like a simple song to play.

The part where he sings "Sometimes I feel like Jesse James"

and then the steel plays

da da

Can anyone help me out with how to play that? I believe the song is in the Key of B (country tabs shows it in G and also in A but the G is a capoed at the 4th fret on a 6string and although it is a g shape, I believe it is B)

I have been trying different positions around the neck but can't lock onto a good sounding one.

I can't seem to figure out how to use the chord finder or I would just look at that.

Brian did you get any response to this request for tab for this song? I too would like to see the fills tabbed out. It is in the key of 'B' but some of the fills that are being played are evading me also.

For such a simple song, I haven't been able to figure out exactly how and where the steel fills are located.

Thanks

go to the second fret with the b pedal down hit 4 and 5 strings ....and pedal down the a....then the second part and b down release the a pedal after striking 4 and 5 then pedal back down the a then hit 5 and 6

Thanks Bruce...

It is in B.

I'll bet if someone would ask really nice, Mickey Adams just might "show" you how it is done. If he has time that is. Man he already does so much for us.

Thats right...Thanks Dick. You nailed it.

Thanks Bruce, Some of these are real hard to nail down, cause you never know how many takes were done of the same song, same passage, maybe over dubbed. I'm hearing something real high in there also, but did my best to get the essence. DS

If someone will send me an MP3 Ill be happy to take a stab at it.....Mick
