I'm a new steel player and this is my first time trying to tab something out. Not sure if the runs are correct. Any help with correct notes or notation is greatly appreciated.
I used this video to figure out what their steel player was doing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhzAFKvj1fY

| Just re-watching the outro, he plays the same run, and it looks like in the third block, he stays on fret 15 for 5 notes before going to fret 13 for the last 3. |

Hi, Kevin. Good on you for being a newbie and trying to work things out for yourself!
Can I offer a few ideas? There is a typo: all of the frets marked "11" should be "10" (the song is in the key of "G" and 10AB is the pedals-down version of a G chord).
It never goes to fret 15; it does something that's easier to play.
That highest note is played in fret 10 on string 3 with the B-pedal down. The B-pedal is released while still ringing, then hit string 4, then 4 & 5A (together) followed by a quick slide of those two notes into fret 8 (for the C chord). Pick 4&5A in fret 8 and immediately release the A-pedal, pick 4&5 and block it. Then move to fret 3 pedals-down to finish off the last two hits over that C chord.
Hope that makes sense. Maybe try doing your YouTube playback on the half-speed setting to get the timing of the picking. |

| Thanks, Tucker. I'll give that a try when I get home tonight. I can visualize that and it makes sense in my head, let's hope I can translate that to the guitar. |

| I was wrong before on the 10-8 slide timing, the video is off from the audio. It's clear that the fingering for that run is M-IT--IT-, and the notes sound right to me. Pretty sure I've got it correct now. Fixed in OP. |
