Yep, sounds just like all the stuff he did behind Loretta, doesn't it?

On careful listening, it also sounds like a tenor banjo playing rhythm, or if not, a muted guitar doing a "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter" part.
I'm unaware of that ever being a thing in Nashville.??

Hi Joe,
Harold Bradley played what I believe was a tenor (4-string) banjo with a flat-pick on sessions quite a bit, so that would be my guess. More of an arpeggiated style on this one (not that same rhythm banjo style) but check out Loretta Lynn's "Blue Kentucky Girl" as an example of Harold on a session.

Hi Pete,
Thanks for chiming in. Hope you're doing well. Yup that's the sound. He even has an arpeggiated solo!

| Cool like Lemon Pie Baby! Ruggsy could pick with the best of them! He was a very nice guy too. Thanks for sharing! |

Yes that would be classic Ruggsy on a Sho-Bud. My hero, mentor and friend.

Yes, what my life long childhood friend Johnny Cox said!
Hal left an indelible impression on us. I will add, Johnny Cox and Paul Franklin showed this then 10 year old kid so much about pedal steel guitar. They and so many of the greats of the era (too many to mention) helped me immensely . So grateful !  |

By the way, I still haven’t been able to play what Hal Rugg played!
So creative and innovative! |

What great memories you have, Tommy, and you've fully absorbed everything they shared with you. Then you became your own player and one of the very best ever. Now you're indirectly teaching all of us.
When I used to do that Summer season (15 weeks in Medora, ND) for more years than I care to remember, the MD would make selections from, not only the country music of the day but also some classics. My heart would sink if I saw one of Hal Rugg's unplayable intros all scored out for me in notation. The best I could achieve was a 'semblance'.

| I don't know if I'm off base with the topic, but, I cannot stand to listen to the likes of Morgan Wallen, spelling not considered important. The songs basically suck, lyrics and melodies. Nothing melodic or worthy of any attention. Has the best already been composed, sung and played? It would appear so. |

Hey Ron Hogan,
Is it really the same licks? The one you posted sounds like octave pull-offs, but without slowing it down, I'm pretty clueless on the one I posted. Seems more difficult.

Steel guitar acrobatics. Can't imagine we will ever hear a modern day song with a steel guitar as much upfront in the mix or with an intro as that one. So great.
