We can't get away from requests for this song. So if you can't beat them,...Learn it. I know it's done on slide guitar but have you guys ever done this on the pedal steel with some overdrive. Any Tab for this E9th

| On web find guitar tab on first 2 strings then play on E9 strings 4 and 5. Lots of slow slides up and down. For me its not so much the notes as it is the sliding and tone! |

This chord progression is a good exercise.
Play it all over the neck.
Here's a challenge:
Play it in one position. No bar movement. Standard E9 setup.
I'll explain how if somebody else doesn't.
The same progression in numbers:

Congrats in finding all but one.
Most would not find two, the D and the F.
That's because we all learn the common grips (10,8,6; 8,6,5; 6,5,4, 5,4,3), which is essential.
The use of other strings is necessary to get the D and F.
On the third fret:
F Major -(notes F,A,C) AB down- strings 9,7,6
(A pedal isn't really used; the 3rd and 1st strings can also be sounded)
D Major - (notes D,F#,A) lower the Es.
(Play stings 10, 8, 7 or 5, 4, 1)
Everyone needs a solid grasp of common grips. Once you have that, looking "outside the box" will open a new world of possibilities. |

Tony,
Joey got you started thinking outside the conventional string grip box.
To continue along those lines for this particular song, staying on the 3rd fret –
D = strings 5 2 1 – no pedals or levers engaged
F = strings 4 3 2 – engaging B & C pedals & D knee lever that lowers the 2nd string ½ note
You can create some cool sounding licks by rocking on & off the C pedal while keeping the other pedal and knee lever engaged.
