Just blown away by this song

Some of the best crying steel I've ever heard. Any help you have would be great. Chords sound like G G/F#
Any section of the song that you have would be greatly appreciated. |

| Had a breakthrough just messing around with the G Harmonized scale in the third fret I felt like I found some of the pads that he's using. |

A very under-rated and little-known singer/songwriter - but up there with the very best of them. Some of his songs still bring a tear to my eye. As a UK listener, I think some of Danny's songs are Norman Rockwell set to music.
If you don't know his work, do yourself a big favour and seek out some of his music - beautiful and original.

Off topic I know, but he was playing in Heidelberg about thirty years ago. It was just him and his guitar. I brought his first album along to make him sign it with his autograph. When he saw the cover he flipped, he'd never seen it before! It was an English pressing. There was a picture of shoes on a cupboard waiting to be repaired. Since it was his record I wanted to give it to him but he refused to take it.

So I think I have have the first riffs figured out.
10th fret 5th and 6th strings a&b pedals down strike it and then lift them and strike again following the changes.
The chords do a c chord and then walk down c b a then d chord. I don't have this figured out fully but I'm just doing a riff on the 3rd and 5th string g scale and just matching those notes as he walks down and then resolves on the d.
Any guidance on the riff at 33 seconds roughly right after he says 'get me drunk...' would be awesome.

I think I got a rough idea of the little pre-chorus riff at the :35 second mark.
3rd fret on the high strings no pedals play the following notes: B A G A B G D
B= 3rd string A = 1st String G = 4th string D = 5th string
Probably my last post on this song. Would love any feedback or additions. My ear is FAR from perfect. |
