I discovered this on Youtube today. I looked long and hard for it a year or two ago and could not find it. This is not mine, just a video I ran across today.

Thanks Lee, that’s the thread I think that got me interested in this in the first place. I tried to find a copy of the actual recording then but I never could find it. Hearing how it sounds does me a lot of good along with the tab! I find it pretty interesting playing the same thing over different chord progressions!

So one might look at this and wonder why 3 fingers wouldn't be the way to go. Clearly it's an exercise, but for pick blocking, wouldn't one use three fingers on this one?

I'm gonna cycle this one for a bit.

I used 3 fingers when I tried to play along with the video!

Right, I'm talking about this TAB, which looks to my naive eyes like something a palm blocker would do. This is a good intro into the way that steel players create those weird little chromatic things that other instruments seem to avoid.

Here is the tab I wrote out for this, which fills in a couple of notes missing from the version above. I also changed the double middles to double thumbs (just a personal preference).

I've got the original course put out by Weldon and Hal with the tab, I can post the tab here if anyone wants to see it.

The original Emmons Co. tab is a little unusual. The fingerings are shown in the tablature, next to the fret number(s). And the fingers are labeled t, a, and b... for thumb, index, and middle finger. And down below the tablature are numbers (1 and 2...) indicating which pedals to push. So "a" and "b" in the tablature does not mean pedals A and B. They indicate the fingerings. The pedal changes are down below and they are pedal 1 and pedal 2. If you're used to regular tablature, this tab will slow you down to a crawl. Wink I ended up re-writing the tab... 45 years ago.

Here' a go. Years ago, I added the handwritten B on the tab where the second pedal is to be depressed, which we call B now.

Good clarification of the tab writing on the original Emmons tab. Thanks Doug!

Yikes yes thank you. Who in the heck does M-M, especially when going to higher strings? It’s a mistake, and a sure way to flub up your timing.
