| I have the music tab (Merle Haggard) but I'm looking for the Intro he used on "Mama Tried." If you have one, please PM me. Thanks, Fred |

This is for 6 string guitar not for steel.

Carl Merle Haggard's record is done with a 6 strimg guitar. Joe Wright does it on steel and I told Fred this. He may have a lesson on it. I haven't found it yet. Thanks, I haven't tried Greg Cutshaw.

IMHO, the fingerpicking guitar part in the background of the Mama Tried intro is just as important as the lead line. The guitar player I work with plays the fingerpicking part and I play the single note guitar line on Steel, which really isn't that hard. Here's how I play it in the key of D ...
On the 17th fret pick the 5 string with A pedal down. Let off of the A pedal ( 8th notes ) and then play the 6th string with the B pedal down ( quarter note ) on the 15th fret. Then play the same lick an octave down on the 5 fret and the 3 fret. Then strings 6,8 and 10 no pedals ( an A chord ) and then hit the A and B pedal ( a D chord ), the A chord on the 1st beat of the measure and the D chord on the "and" of one. I'm not sitting behind a Steel right now but I think that is correct. Good luck. Try to get someone to play the fingerpicking part on guitar, its two measures of D. Its not a hard intro to play but I always love playing it. |

Guys,
I've heard that Roy Nichols (Merle's iconic regular 6 stringer) AND the great James Burton played on the original recording of Mama Tried. If so, who played the initial finger-picking, and who did the higher register bends?
JB's one of my favorite all time players. |

I've always heard that James Burton played that intro. |
