Has anyone ever tabbed out his style of licks for steel? I can remember faking it when an old group I was with would do a medley of his stuff (which crowds always love, and why not?). It would be interesting see how it would look, and of course, something else to learn for the bag of tricks.
Anything out there?

Try hitting strings 6, 8 & 10 and mashing on and off the A & B pedals, picking the strings in double stops. That will give you the Chuck Berry rhythm in your "pedals off" key. Slide it up and down the fretboard to hit the I IV and V. Works for me.
For lead, pedals down position, strings 3 & 4, sliding into them will give you a classic lick, and you should be able to find the 7b, 5b and 3b notes that are the signatures of the blues scale. Sliding into and out of them will round it out.

If you can find it. Jeff Newman did a workshop on Johnny B Goode and it has some very good old fifties licks of Chucks transposed to the pedal steel. I get a little better sound on these style of licks using the 11th string on my Universal guitar
