Tab for Jamey Johnson's version of For the Good Times?

Roger Light · From: Sheldon, IL

Anyone have this tab worked up. I just came across this version of the classic song and have got to figure this into out. We do this song about every time we play, but my intro is pretty boring compared to this!! Was this "Cowboy" Eddie Long on the recording? Don't have any info as I purchased on iTunes. Thanks

Great version of a great song!
Im working on my C6 these days, so this was a good intro to try and learn!
Its not note for note, but pretty close.

On my setup:
LKR lowers 5 a whole and raises 10 a whole.
RKL raises 3 and 7 a half.
A = Pedal 5, raises 10 whole, 9 half and lowers 5 half.
B = Pedal 6, lowers 6 half and raises 2 half.

Thanks Clete! I really love the sound of C6 stuff, but just havent spent nearly the time on it I should have.

roger for the intro do this, strings 8,6,5 3rd fret hit those slide up to 5th fret, now push both pedals and hit strings 5,6,7. you will hear what I am saying, now go to the 8th fret strings 5 & 6 slide to 10th fret apply both pedals slide on up to the 15th fret, now go to the 17th fret slide back to the 14th fret then back to the 17th fret that will be the intro for you

I believe Cowboy Eddie plays a 12 string. Would be hard to duplicate his intro exactly on a 10.

Joseph Barcus · From: Volga West Virginia

it was done on the E9th neck for sure.

I like your intro Joseph.
Here's a link to the intro I attempted to tab.

Joseph Barcus · From: Volga West Virginia

Joseph,

You and Roger have undoubtedly played this song many more times than I have even heard it in all its different recorded versions since it was written. Its a timeless classic for sure.

This is from another thread on Eddie Long:

Adam Moritz · From: Cedar Rapids, IA

Clete nice job on the youtube video. Short and sweet and gives a little more insight into your tabs! This is what's so amazing about the PSG. 10 string, 12 string, E9, C6, Uni, Combos, positions, strings... etc. The combinations are frankly endless. I have to try and play on my 3x4 E9 emmons setup what others play on C6 or what-not. And this forum does an awesome job of letting people show how they do this! I am not sure, but I think Cowboy Eddie Long plays a Uni12 BMI.

I jazzed up Joseph's E9 tab a bit, adding a note on the 8th string.

L=Half-step Lower
R=Half-step Raise

The three chords played before the final D chord, on fret 17, are played over an A in the bass. It gives you an A13 with a flat 9 (I think!).

Here is a redo of the tab, showing what the bass player can play under the chords:

Here's another E9th version...not exact but close:

Glenn - I like that. I really like the D6 add 9 on the 12th fret. You can even add the 3rd string to the strum.

Duane Becker · From: Elk,Wa 99009 USA

Here's my shot at the intro. First of all, its a U-12 which sounds different then a regular 10 string. The U-12, especially when using the bass strings sounds fuller and richer.
With that said, it is still possible to come close on a 10 string. Just using strings 5, 6, and 8, doesnt sound full enough. You can also use string 9 too.
On the tab that I've posted, the RKR is the knee that lowers the 9 string D to C# and the word rake indicates using the thumb to rake across the strings to play more strings then with the normal three picks. If you rake the strings with thumb, make sure you do so quickly and even.
The last chord is the D major 7 and make sure you hit the 9 string too.

Clete, it looks like you are on the right track. I'm not that good on the 6th neck, but this one has me hooked. This intro was apparently done on the B6th and should be reproduceable on the C6th. I believe that Jamie does the song in A Maj. I start on the 2nd fret of my C6th neck and rake the lower strings with the 6th pedal engaged (G or G7.) Going up the neck to the 11th fret, I resolve it at the 9th (A.) I don't have it exactly and will be noodling around with it for a while.

I put out some bad info in my last post concerning this intro. On closer examination, what I meant to say was I've been learning this on the C6 using p7 between the 7th and ninth frets for the first part of the intro. I initially said start at the 2nd fret (wrong.) When I get finished, I'll tab it.

I'm having trouble with my scanner, but this is what I came up with on the C6th:
Strings 5,6,8 at the 7th fret with p7
Strings 5,6,8 at the 8th fret with p7
Strings 4,5,7 at the 7th fret with p7
String 5 at the 7th fret with p7
String 4 at the 7th fret with p7
String 3 at the 7th fret with p7
Strings 2 and 3 at the 7th fret no pedal
Strings 2 and 3 at the 9th fret no pedal
String 1 at the 9th fret
Strings 2,3,5 at the 14th fret with p7
Strings 2,3,5 at the 14th fret release p7
String 1 at the 14th fret.
(not perfect, but close)

I decided to revisit this song. Here is another way to play it using the standard E9 tuning. The first tab requires the ability to lower the 9th string a half step. If you don't have that, use the second tab.

The notes under the tab are for the bass player.

These are the chords:

Em7
F#m7
GMaj7
A7(flat 9)
D6(add 9)

Russ Wever · From: Kansas City

This E9 tab offers the counterpoint in the first three notes.

Notes in parentheses are optional but will broaden the sound
of the voicings: Just play the string below and lengthen the
thumbstroke to get both notes via the thumb.

An alternate choice for the two pickup notes, depending on your
tuning temperament could be to play, with the B & C pedals down,
strings 5, 6 & 9 at the fifth fret and then strings 5, 6 & 10 at the
seventh fret.

A, B & C are pedals. R & L indicate
raise or lower with a knee lever.
