| I heard a song called When your house is not a home by Little Jimmy Dickens and there is a steel line played twice once at 22 seconds and again and 2 minutes 4 seconds. I cannot figure out how to play this part but I really like it a lot.Can anybody tell me how this is done. Those time marks apply to the link im posting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eetc13c8xUE&feature=player_detailpage |

Let me begin by saying my guitar is 1179 miles behind me.
It sounds like he starts with a 1 chord in the pedals up position, slides down 5 frets and pedals into AB, then moves up a fret to hit a IV in the AF position, then back down to AB.
I could be way off, but that's where I'd look.
Great song. "Gun in the mouth" country.

One other possibility, if you drop 6 a whole step, start higher up the neck at the AF position, as you slide down to root, release A and F, lower the Es and the 6th string, release them after you settle at root fret, then press and release A and B.
To me it sounds like the steel plays I-I (but a lower inversion)-V-I-IV-I, all over the I

| I kind of like the Roger Miller version with Mr. Emmons playing steel. In fact, I like it a lot. Think it's from "A Trip In The Country," but I have it on a reissue CD. "The Big E" version with Dan Dugmore ain't too shabby either. |

This is one way to play it, there's probably several ways to get the same notes:
Pick strings 4 and 5 simultaneously at the 15th fret, then, while they're still ringing, slide down to the 10th fret, then up to the 12th fret.
Now place the bar over the 6th fret, with the 'A' pedal and the 'F' lever activated, and pick the same strings again, then, while the strings are still ringing, slowly release the 'A' pedal (but keep the 'F' lever activated) |

Sounds like parallel harmony. I can't hear the ending on my laptop, but.
strings 4 & 5:
15th fret
slide to 10th fret
engage C pedal
simultaneously release C and slide to 12th fret
slide to fret 10
slide to fret 8 w/E lowered

I don't think they had the "F" lever in 1958

| I think Jerry has the first part right, including the use of the C pedal. From there it sounds to me like strings 5 and 6 with the B and C pedals at the 10th fret, then dropping down to the 8th fret with just the B pedal, and string 4 sneaks back in (and then it resolves to no pedals on the change to the IV chord). Definitely a cool lick from Mr. Day, any way you play it... |

Weldon has got an instrumental of this song on YouTube. I believe Weldon does it with a half A pedal. Also on YouTube somewhere, Bobby Seymore explains it and tells how to do it. Very cool indeed.

| That's a great version. I really like that part that Im trying to figure out how to play. I never really play this song but Ill probalbly try to learn it if I can figure out that part at 22 seconds in the Jimmy Dickens version. |

Mark, I was getting a double post every time I posted from my phone. I finally found out that it was because I was hitting the "back" button to go back to the thread after posting. On one of the pages on my way back, the 2nd post was happening.
Now I just click the forum logo to return to the forum index and come back to the thread from there, and I haven't had a problem doing it that way.
Hope this helps... sorry to be off topic. |

Thanks Bruce.
It worked. That keeps it from happening.

Daniel.... One of us is bound to hit it sooner or later. 
Try this:
Lick is in "G" to "G7th". Starts on fret 15, pick strings 4 & 5, sliding down to fret 8 engage your E lever (lowers your E string). Immediately pick strings 4 & 5 there and slide up to fret 10 releasing the E lever. Finish by engaging pedal A & B while hitting strings 5 & 6 and slide back to fret 8 while releasing the A pedal (giving you the G7th).
Now where did I put my egg-nog.

funny this rollercoaster sound should come up, This guitar I bought had a lot of extra levers, (I know how to use 4 of them) Back then They probably didnt have any levers, I dont know.
Just tonite I messed with this lever that raises only strings 1 & 2 (string 1 a whole tone, string 2 a half tone) and with 1 sweep with the lever,Then sliding down 2 frets and back to starting fret without the lever, it makes this sound , Holy cow its an amazing lever, Its a second LKL
I`m sorry I cant tell you any more than this but I thought i`d share it
Needless to say I`m tickled pink about it
