I recorded this song a couple of years ago.
http://soundhost.net/2012/08/country-fryd-in-a/
Problem is, there's a cool lick on it that I don't remember how to play. It's on the C6th neck, the first phrase in the second bridge which starts at about 1:48. The chord I'm looking for is at 1:50. There weren't any unusual changes in the copedent.
Help! Can anyone tell me what I did?

Hi b0b,
It sounds like you hit pedals 5&6 and slid up three frets for a diminished sound over the four chord. Then it goes iii... II...V... |

Sounds to me more like the beginning of the phrase is on D6 at the 14th fret and then you get a D7#9 chord by moving up to the 17th fret using the boo wah pedal (but not hitting the low string), playing the next notes on strings 3-7 assuming a standard 10-string C6. The chord is played in a couple of pieces, but in all the notes sound to me like, from low to high, F#, A, C, D, F (natural).

The song is in A, so the lick is against a D chord. I don't think it's a diminished chord, Brett. I play the diminished elsewhere and it doesn't sound like that.
John, I think you're right. The 7#9 sounds pretty cool as a IV chord.
Here's the actual copedent used. The "boo wah pedal" changes are on P6.

I hear the dominant tones to be the C note and F note. Against the IV chord I believe that would be a dom 7th with a #9. It gives you that classic 1950's Rock-a-Billy riff.

| Looking at the setup on your Fender, you could also have played that D7#9 chord with pedals 3,4, and 5 on the twelfth fret (pedals 5, 6, & 7 on a modern 10-string), but it's more likely on the 17th fret with pedal 6 on the Fender (Boo-wah on a 10-string) like John says. |

Been there, done that. It's extremely annoying! |

Now that's a position that wouldn't have occurred to me. Thanks, Jerry.
