Most useful solos to cop

John Steele · From: Renfrew, Ontario, Canada

Which steel solos (or parts) you have had to learn have been most useful in expanding your vocabulary ?
Some solos or turnarounds are little gold mines of thought which can be used over and over (at the risk of sounding predictable

)
Emmons' E9 solo in "Flint Hill Special"
from the "Expedition E9" recording is one I'm glad I learned. I use little 4 bar chunks from it all the time.
What are yours ?

I don`t profess to be any sort of " player" as yet, but one of the things I have found very useful is learning `walk-ups and walk-downs` in as many different ways as I can....quite often this simple move comes out sounding like a real nice ` lick` and people start thinking that i `know what I`m doing`

The ride from Porter Wagoner's "Howdy Neighbor, Howdy" was always one of my favorites! (By Weldon, I think?) Anyhow, I use parts of that one quite a bit. Also parts of Mooney's backup work in "Half of This, Half of That" is really choice stuff.

Donnie I was told it was Buddy Charlton that played the original Howdy Neighbor, Howdy by Porter.It came from a reliable source but may not be true.

I must have a later recording of that tune. On the version I have, it sounds like Buck Trent on his electric banjo. I believe he had Scruggs tuners on all four strings and used them extensively to simulate a pedal steel. I will be seeing Buddy on Saturday and will ask him if it was he who played on the original cut.
