Is this done in the same key as the song by Dwight?? Janice sent me a .wav file for it and if it is, I will post it on the site.

Thanks, bud.

Ricky and Graham,
I think I hear a couple of other things in the solo. I tried to tab them. The first is a 1/2 step drop using the E-Eb knee lever on the fifth fret in block number 3. The second is trickier, but in block 7 where you do the 'c' pedal, I don't hear the second part of what you tabbed. Is it possible that it's something like what I tabbed? Anyway, just trying to help. Thanks alot for the tabbing. .. jeff

Yeah Graham same solo and key. Hey Jeff I never go to sit down with my steel on this one and did it on the fly; so until I can actually play through it; it might be a little off here and there. I listened to it through my computer also and my tab may be supject to some improvement; so thanks and if you are absolutely sure that is it; than you can send the whole solo(if you did that) to Graham and he can put it up on the site.
I'm on the road now for two weeks and can't possibly check it absolute; so you go for it pal.
Thanks.
Ricky

Since this was prompted by my request in the first place, I want to thank all of you for the tab. I'm still trying to track down an audio source, but when I can HEAR it again, I'm sure both of the above tabs will put me in the money. You guys are great! Will

Will:
Check the site on the 1988 page. Sound clip and tab are there.

Jeff:
Included your possible alternative with Ricky's tab. If you want to email me your tab as a notepad text file, will use it on the site.

Graham,
Is that the same as a Word attachment to the e-mail? .. Jeff

Jeff:
All the tab Ricky does up, he does in Notepad which is found in the Accessories in Windows 95/98. He saves them as plain text files and sends them to me in an email and I then do them up as an html document for the site.
Hope this helps.

Graham,
This is the final result for the solo. I sent an e-mail so it can be posted to the html site. And by the way, how can I reduce the font size? .. Jeff

Jeff:
If you are using notepad, click on "edit", then click on "set font". That should enable you to set the font size you want.

If you follow the directions on the UBB Code help page, your font size will be smaller.
