Bakersfield Bound

I just recently discovered some of the Chris Hillman and Herb Pederson stuff from "Bakersfield Bound" and I gotta tell you, the steel playing just blew me away. Does anyone know if this is Jay Dee Maness. I'm also wondering if there is any tab out there for any of this stuff. I've been working on "Playboy" for a couple of days now and I can't for the life of me figure out those chromatic runs. There must be a more efficient way to hit all those notes without covering so much territory. And by the way,if you haven't heard this stuff do yourself a favor and check it out.

Alan,
If someone can send me a .mp3 attached to an e-mail, I'll take a shot at it.

Solo for "playboy". Key of E, solo starts on A chord. A lot of variance in dynamics of 3-note chords, sometimes all 3 notes strong, other times, can hear 2, 3rd note is faint, or 1 note well and other 2 are faint. Maybe resonating strings. Hard to say. Whenever there was a hint of the extra notes, I assumed the whole chord in the tab. Use your judgement as to whether you want to vary the attack or even leave out a 3rd note where it's played softly.

Jeff, I can't thank you enough, friend, you made my day. I'm going straight up to the music room and give this a whirl. I'll let you know what happens.

Bakersfield Bound is really a JayDee Maness record, with Chris and Herb singing the fills between the steel parts.

You can buy it from the Forum catalog, by the way.

Killer tab, Jeff!
