Howdy, folks -
I'd be much obliged if anyone can tell me who played steel for Kenny Chesney in the song "She's Got It All".
The group I play with does this one, and the steel part is sheer creative and technical genius. Who's playing? |

| I've always thought that sounded a whole lot like Sonny Garrish. I don't have any of Kenny's records though, so I am guessing too. |

Dave,
I had to practice that solo like crazy to try to get close to it for a cover band I was in when the song came out. Its pretty easy to be sure of when Sonny is playing. His style is very different than everybody else when he is just being himself. The main tip off is how he doubles his parts. He can play a pile of tunes on a session and then take a few minutes and double all his parts pretty much perfect in one pass. Also his rythmic phrasing sounds simple but can be very tricky to get right. His notes and licks are cool but when you listen carefully to his parts you realize how interlocked they are with the drums and melody you can tell he is one of the all time greats.

| It's Sonny Garrish on the record, but when Kenny plays the song live, it's his road steel player, Jim Bob Gairrett. Sonny played on a lot of Kenny's records, in addition to"Cowboy" Eddie Long.

Bob -
Very interesting comments. I'm at the lower end of playing proficiency around here, probably, due mostly to my laziness, so I obviously find attempting it, or an approximation of it, very intimidating.
I was totally blown away when I slowed it down to study it, and noticed that, in the fifth measure (if I counted correctly), there are actually triplets in there so fast that, up to tempo, I can't even tell they're there....but they are. I can't imagine fingers moving that fast - I figured maybe there had to be some digital legerdemain involved, or something like that.  |

Dave,
That part of the solo is a bounce on the C pedal lick.
