Topic: Teea Goans- A must listen steel lick |

Just purchased Teea Goans new album called "Memories To Burn". On this album is "Pick me Up On Your Way Down"...I would love to know who this steel player is and what he is using for equipment. Guys, give a listen to the "turnaround" in this version. He does a lick that is second to none in the instrumental portion. You will know exactly what I'm talking about when you hear it.
You can actually go to Itunes and preview this album and hear what I'm talking about without buying it, but you'll pry want it like I did when I heard this.
Give it a listen and let me know what you think. |

Sounds like a whole tone scale played on 2 strings with a slide after the first note of the 3 note ascending phrase.

| Sorta sounds like stereo steel or something like that maybe. Has a real chorus sound. Definate some type of nice electronic. |

The tone and playing sound like Tommy to me. But I wouldn't doubt it being Mike based on the final lick in the solo. I may have to get this CD. Teea is hot stuff.

| I agree on the whole tone scale lick. To me it sounds like he's using a harmonizer tuned to high fifths on the turnaround. |

Whoever it is, they have good taste. They're obviously a fan of Weldon Myrick. In fact, it's one of my favorite Weldon breaks.

| Pretty tasty stuff. Was the turnaround stacked, or just using delay? It started pretty good for me, but it lost me where everybody thinks it's cool. Just a little too unusual to my ears! Mike Johnson never ceases to amaze me. |

| Whole-tone scale stuff almost always sounds to me like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. It's a sound musicians can dig for technical reasons, but seems to have no heart. Just my opinion. |

Rare use of whole tone scale in country music but Craig's right: Weldon used it right there for Charlie Walker on the same tune. So props to Mike J. for bringing that cool idea back. By the time your ears perk up and say "What the heck was that?", it's over and you're comfortable again. LOL.

Thank you Jim. (ps: do you need more Werthers?)
I used it two years ago in the Patsy Cline play. It fit's well in Honky Tonk Angels, but let's go way back to 1963. Leon and Buddy wrote the entire song "Rhodes-Bud Boogie" around that scale. Twenty years ago I heard Leon Rhodes play an instrumental version of San Antonio Rose to fill some time on the Opry one night. Who could know where to place that run so it would fit-in and add to the song, any better than Leon did on that Saturday night? He played it going up the neck and back down again.
I'll bet Weldon liked Rhodes-Bud Boogie.
As Tom Lehrer once said:
"Plagiarize, plagiarize. . . Let no one's work evadeyoureyes"

it says on one album that Leon Rhoads played steel? It said he played guitar and steel. Didnt know he played steel. But i think Mike Johnson is the right answer

Who knows how many instruments Grady Martin may have owned?
Here he is with a double-neck Bigsby backing some singer trying to make it in Nashville.
Wonder who's playing steel in the background. Dickie Harris maybe?
Merry Christmas All

| There is a signature lick, beginning at :36 - 38 in the beginning of the song that has Tommy White all over it. As mentioned above, this is a classic Weldon and Leon Rhodes turn around. A definite crowd pleasure for sure. Watching the video of Weldon playing this is second to none. |

| OK, I've listened again. To me, it doesn't sound so much like Mike Johnson after all...I'm thinking Paul Franklin. |
