Whiskey River original solo

[Ron Sodos]

I've been trying to play Buddy's ride on Whiskey River. I kind of get it but it seems I'm in the wrong voicing. If somebody has the tab I sure would love it. Been playing the song for 35 years and never tried to play the solo like the record. In fact I played with The Whiskey River Band for a large percentage of my career and never tried to learn it. Any way here goes.

WEll if you are talking about the original Johnny Bush Version of Whiskey River? that was Weldon Myrick on pedal steel and here's how he played the solo.
