| Who is the young Steel Guitarist that was playing with John Pardi on his Opry set last weekend. I was watching it and he is a really good Steel Guitarist. He was playing a lot of fills that really complemented the singer. The singer said it was his Road Band. I really liked them. They sounded like a Real Country Band. |

| Jon Pardi is a great artist-he features fiddle and steel in a lot of his songs! Before Alex Cordell came along, there was a steel player named Andy Ellison, and he played a Mullen. I think Alex plays an MSA |

We do the Jon Pardi version of Right or Wrong.
I do my best to copy the steel guitar fills and solo
As played on the recording.
I cringe every time we get to the 5th and 6th measure
of the solo. No matter how much I work on it at home
where I play that part maybe 80% accurate I’m sure
to choke everytime playing it live.
Our drummer just looks at me shaking his head laughing. Lol
Just something I thought I’d put out there.
Great solo! Not easy. |

| Sitting and working on a solo or turn around with the original song by yourself, Many times does no good. If the drummer and bass player does not use the exact same timing to lay down the grove, You are practicing with. If they get ahead of you or behind you, And you try to speed up or slow down to the rhythm, It can become a train wreck. |

Bob, I cringe when I listen to my solo on that recording too! It’s tough on E9,
Weldon’s ride on the George Strait version is my favorite steel solo so I tried to get “close.” We tracked that whole record live at Jon’s house in his shop over the pandemic. |

Confronted with something that's beyond my technique, I've learned that it's better to develop your own solo (or fills). You'll sound more confident and, if it's your own creation, I defy the drummer to laugh!! 
Bobby is quite correct; the slightest change of nuance could throw you if your rhythm section doesn't gat in that same 'pocket'.
Make up your own stuff!
(I DO love Weldon's solo, though. )

C6th is much easier, even i can get real close on C6th. I think Weldon did play on C6th, not sure
