I'm looking for tab or some recommendations for a starting point with these tunes. I did a search and came up with a intro for Dire Wolf tabbed out, but it didn't sound right to my ears. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

This post helped me figure out the intro...
(the description is part way down the page)
Sounds right to me.

| On "out on the week end" I think he's doing a bar slant with the A & B pedals down on the 3rd string 15th fret and 5th string 13th fret to get that Bm passage. Don't know if anyone else is trying to play that song but I hope it helps. |

Are you talking about the second verse, where the steel makes its first entrance?
It very well might be a bar slant. Here's how I would play that passage:
* Over the A chord: 12th fret, pick 3B and 5, then step on A-pedal.
* Over the Bm chord: I used to do this, but it's not smooth enough: 12th fret, pick 3B and 5A then immediately slide to 15th fret while releasing A- and B-pedals. The more I listen, the more I think I've been doing it incorrectly; the same lick in the second half of the song is too smooth be a pedal-release-with-slide thing.
So there are 3 other good possibilities:
It is either the forward slant David uses holding AB down the whole time: 12th fret, sliding to slant 3rd string 14th and 5th string 13th.
Or possibly a reverse slant with no pedals involved: 13th fret 3rd string with 14th fret 5th string... resolving to 15th.
Or no slant: 17th fret, strings 4 and 6, step on B- and C-pedal. He's so dang in tune every time he does this lick on the recording, it might be this BC position. I'm leaning that way...
---
* Over the E chord: 12th fret, pick 4C and 6B, then release B- and C-pedals.
* Over the A chord: 12 fret, pick 3 and 5, step on A- and B-pedals. |
