JayDee picks so fast! I can't do the solo and I've been trying for a good 30 years now. I love Mr. Manness' style. And I gotta say that the DRB was the best country-rock group ever! For me anyway!

That's been one of my all time favorite steel breaks.I recently started working on it for fun and it's a hard one to play smoothly at speed due to the fast double stops.

Agree 100% Duck! Loved it the first time I heard it, the story goes that the Ray Stevens hit was just them jamming, warming up, not sure but it went out and got great attention, it's a great one by Ray and JayCee.

Jay Dee also tells this great story about that lick. After the record was released and accepted, it got nominated for an Emmy. If I am wrong about this please correct me Jay Dee.
They were performing the song on TV and his third string broke. Somehow through his creative genius Jay Dee managed to put together an acceptable part for the TV show.
Talk about bad timing!!!
He is a total professional and one nice guy as well.

Instead of picking the lowered second string as in Ricky's tab he goes up one fret on the fifth string from 17A -18A.

The tab I used was in key of C and different from the above tab. From a long time ago. If I remember right it was in one of the magazines.or I could be wrong!

Now I'm sure I'm wrong lol! The tab I used, at the end of the solo used an open 3rd string which doesn't work in C. Works in D with the B pedal.

JD has a Rhythm Track for Misty and the others on his most recent album.
Very fun to play along with!

Although it seems to me that neither tabs are totally correct. Anyway, the reason I posted this was because of the speed that JayDee pulls it off. Some people are super quick (think Mohammed Ali). I'm not that way and I can't get all the way there. Seems to me that not only is JayDee a master, but part of why is his natural quickness.
