Speaking of the awesome Randle Currie...

Has anyone tabbed out or does anyone feel like taking a stab at the descending steel part which starts at 1:22 min into the song and ends at 1:26?

Even my slow-downer is not revealing that lick for me.

Here it is with some fret numbers. The A# is kind of a blue note between A and A#.

With the precious help from "EAR" Wink nest Bovine :
E9 tuning Tab's just been corrected
Tab:

 1
 2
 3  9-10
 4  9-10 10 -9F 7 -7
 5       10A-9A 7A-7       5 -5 4-3
 6                   7B-5B 5B-5 4-3
 7                                  3   3
 8                                    3   3-4-0
 9
10

Last run -4-0 is a pull-off.
If someone could tell me how to draw measure bars and
string lines, that'll be easier.

I could be wrong, but, I suspect the last eighth note in the first bar of Earnest's notation, the top note may actually be E rather than F#, and therefore just don't use your A pedal at the 5th fret. Give it a listen and see what you think.
Great job guys. Cool little lick, thanks.

I'm 99% sure you're right,but I'd like to have Earnest's opinion.
Anway it sounds "more like it" with E instead of
F#.(no A pedal,just B)
Thanks.

Many thanks to all who responded, especially Earnest and John from Belgium. With practice I should be able to get the lick down, but that move at the very beginning going from frets 9 to 10 and then 10 to 9 with the pedal and knee lever engaged will take some work.

Thanks again.

To me it sounds like fret 10 (easier to play), not fret 9 (harder to play). The B goes down to A# or A as A-pedal is released. I wrote A# but it would probably be A natural, except that the note gets cut off early for the move to fret 7.
