I am trying to learn exactly how to play the famous Curly Chalker lick on "I Love You A Thousand Ways". I have that lick on a Stoney Edwards song called "Hank and Lefty Raised My Country Soul", on which it sounds like Weldon Myrick playing the lick. I am real close to playing it right ... but not exactly. Anyone have any guidance for me?

Hi Bobby....that reminds me of a Hank Thompson song called Ages and Ages Ago..He has Curly Chalker on steel and during the second verse...Curly does a beautiful ascending run.....I have a recording software and I just edited that one section out and then reduced the speed about 30 %. I just allow it to play over and over until I'm able to figure out what he's doing. Beleive me....it works. I use the DAK Wave/MP3 Editor and Recorder.

Wow another recording that I don't have. I thought I had most all of them but this one slipped by me.

I don't have the Stoney Edwards recording, but I just listened to Lefty's recording of "Thousand Ways," and Chalker doesn't have a much of a solo or licks.

HOWEVER, if you're talking about the lick in "Always Late," it's originally a Joaquin Murphey lick found on the intro to "Steel Guitar Jubilee."

Anyway, here's the lick, C6 tuning, key of A

On E9, it's
