Guys, I've worked on this for a long time on my own...I can't get it. Would some Forum Brother/Sister please tab this for me?

At about 17 seconds into video.

Thanks in advance,

I have to agree with Tommy....I'd love to know how that was played. Really, Curly was an amazing E9th player!!

I've watched the bar movements, and listened to the solo, and I just don't know how Curly played it Shocked

However, I can hear the notes, and have tabbed it out, as near as I can get, to suit my copedant, which is fairly standard.

Watch out for the 9th string lower (denoted 9D), and also I offer my apologies for attempting to tabulate the crazy, unplayable riff that Curly plays with ease on the 9th/10th fret, near the end of the solo

Edit: Tab removed as bar slant at :23 was omitted

Theres a bar slant in there at:23 on the vid, which is one of the missing twists. Smile

Clete,
If you read my post you will see that I have noted the bar movements, but can't reproduce them, so I tabbed out the tune, using the same notes but in different fret/string positions, thinking that I might be helping Tommy out here, even though my tab is not spot-on.

Not wanting to mislead anyone, I've deleted the tab Sad

I read your post and was just trying to help as well. I watched a few times before I noticed, and figured others may have missed the bar slant too. Its a bit obscured behind the thumb at that angle. Sorry, didnt mean any offense, and I thought your tab looked good. I dont use bar slants yet, but his solo there sure is mind bending! Shocked

When Tommy first posted this thread, I looked at the video, and concluded that it was too complicated for me, so I left it.

Then I got an email from Tommy, asking me if I could tab ot out, so I did it (as best as I could) as a favour for Tommy, and spent quite a bit of time on it.

I did explain in my original post that there were bits I couldn't get, so I expected a bit of leeway from other players, who would overlook my shortcomings, and not immediately point out the bar slant (which I had, of course, seen on the video)

Curly's copedant from that period is explained in the book, "Pedal Steel Guitar" by Winnie Winston. However, it does state that he had two vertical knees and chose not to reveal their function.

I was browsing through some of William Litaker's videos, and found this tune, which is very similar to Curly's solo Very Happy
