Hey Ricky, I didn't know how to get it all on one line. Fix it if you want to.

I would say that if you can learn every steel lick on this record .. you have completed learning the instrument.

Branded Man intro lick (key of G#)

Paul, I hope you help us out, do you use there your upperlever that raises 6th string 1 and half tone?
regards, Johan

better this way? Thanks B0b!

Might be easier with the bar at the 2nd fret for the 6th string manipulations.

Just wondering if anybody has had a go at tabbing out the solo in Holding Things Together? The ascending run in the second half of the break is just sublime. If I can learn to play that, I will be a very happy man.

Ok Chris, I'll take a shot at it. I know this can't be right on. Anything that sounds that good on the recording, I can't imagine would be this simple. But it'll work. You guys with better ears feel free to bleed on it. I'd like to get it right.

Harold, thank you so much for another great tablature. I've spend many hours of learning from your fantastic "Bakersfield Bound" transcriptions which have given me so many great rides and tons of inspiration !

Found a typo. On the second page of the solo where it goes to the 18th fret, it should be the 19th fret.

Anyone try Fightin Side? I really like the "run down" part of that solo.

Oh and on the first of the intro of Holdin' Things Together, it should read 9B to 9AB. Guess I oughta do a better job of proofreading before I post anything.

Harold, thanks so much for doing this. I wasn't expecting anyone to respond so I haven't checked the thread for a few days. This looks great. I'm going to work on it this evening. Thanks again.

Harold, thanks for taking the time to get the tab for us. It has really helped. Tony

Fellas, this'n 'bout wore my ears out.

Wow
Thank you Mr Bullard
Can't wait to get to work on it

Steve

Thanks to Steve Pawlak for getting this thread started. Harold, you must be puttin' in some overtime to get this tab out !

as a newcomer to the pedal steel, i want to thank everyone who is taking the time to post these tabs. not only is it invaluable to be able to see what's happening in the stuff i'm hearing, but it's like christmas morning every time a new one comes up!

I think Franklin agrees that he is still learning and he knows all those licks.

Anyone who is willing to tab out 'He don't Deserve you Anymore' would make me a very happy man.

This is one kicka$$ album! Paul Franklin sure nailed down that Bakersfield style!

Thanks for this thread guys, I'm just getting to the point where I can take a good stab at some of these classic moves without making the dog pee on the rug. This record rip or what!

Please? Pretty please? If anyone has the time, it would really help me progress if I learned all that. Thanks.
