The Steel Guitar Forum

Great new album by Alan! With some great steel playing my mr Franklin. Here's the first steel solo from the title track "Freight Train". A fine example of speed picking in a minor key.

E9th pedal steel, key of G minor.

Great job on the tab. Have you tabbed any other songs? Your website link doesn't appear to work.

Anybody wanna take a crack at the passage from 3:43 until 3:51??

Here's my version of passage no 2. It's quite simple written, 'cuz of the function in Tabledit. Hope this will help ya out. =)
