I noticed someone posted a tab from this great record, so I thought I'd try and tab out a solo I've been trying to learn from it. This has turned into one of those records I can't stop listening to, and it has some awesome steel playing on it!

I've never made a tab before so this may be a little painful. I wasn't exactly sure how to tab out the RKL, so I just wrote RKL Smile. On my guitar, it raises the F#'s a half step. I'd love any corrections or suggestions, I'm still fairly new at trying to pick out steel parts by ear.

EDIT: just noticed the tune was on YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UTqmBdoKvvo

Close get rid of most of those single note runs and make them all double stops.

Pretty sure Roger Ray played on this one. Maybe he will chime in.

Can somebody help tab out the ending run in the last ~30 second of the song? I think I have it but something is off…

Are you talking about the tag where they sing "I am just a fool...?"

If so, 10th fret:
strings 3 and 4
1 and 2
5A and 4
5 and 4

Slide down to the A chord in the 5th fret. The go back to the 10th fret and repeat all that.

Hope that's right... I'm doing this in my head. Sad
