Duane, that song sounds like a cross between Buddy Emmons and Pete Drake. But when I close my eyes, all I can hear is Johnny Paycheck’s singing style through George Jones. Great song.

| Thanks Greg, I thought about Emmons, some touches of him there, you may be right. I've heard Pete do some pull offs on some lps I have which led me to thinking it was Pete. |

Slowed it down and will tab it out. Sounds like he is using the 3rd string open hammer with the B pedal.
Note in the tab below when you hammer off the 3rd string at the 2nd fret, hold the B pedal on!

The last third is all Pete but the engineer could have broken his wrist with that panning!

I love so much of Pete Drakes playing. His work on Nashville Skyline on songs like “tonight I’ll be staying here with you “ is pure genius on how to use the natural sound of the steel in context.
My absolute favorite Pete Drake lick is going from the 3 chord to the 4 chord in the beginning of the chorus in the tune “stand by your man”. It’s the most simple and perfect phrase ever ! Just a half step gliss with nothing else. I love when they call that tune and I get to play those 3 chords. That tune would not be the same without that perfect declarative musical move.

Posted 19 Nov 2024 7:40 pm Joe Roberts - Copedant Idea

For Joe Roberts
Dear Joe - I am really excited to see this copedant for C6th. I hate the D on top, and I am going to go back to G which is how I learned playing C6th straight up no pedals. I can't get used to the re-entrant string. But for this copedant of Pete Drakes, what else would the fifth pedal do if you are raising 1 string high G to A? This thread is supposed to be about Pete Drake not C6th copedants, so if you prefer you can send a private answer or we can start a different thread on this topic in the Pedal Steel section.

[quote="The secret to getting those beautiful chimey E9th sounds was to raise the high G string up to A with the fifth pedal.
At first the norm for P5 was, at first, to drop it to F#.
And then it became popular to raise it to G# (before replacing the high G with the D caught on).
But raising the G to A, the fifth and sixth pedals can then be used like the E9th A and B pedals.
Changing the C E G triad on top to C F A.
The licks and sound can be approximated on the E9th, but not entirely imitated.[/quote]
