This tab uses a lot of pedals and knee levers and brings out the "pedal" steel sound. Note how the 1st string whole tone raise makes a nice C Maj7th when used at the 3rd fret with pedals A and B. Raising the 2nd string 1/2 tone makes a nice unison sound with the 4th string.

Hi Greg,
This is my first post regarding your playing. You must put in a lot of time and devotion to bring us those fine sound clips and tabs. I applaud you for your efforts!

This next remark might sound somewhat critical. Please don't take offense.

I noticed in at least 2 spots right around :05 and :10
The one string has a overtone type of ring to it...like a buzz. Is this what we have been talking about in other threads? Is your string buzzing on a roller?
Is it my ears? My hearing is not 100% so that could be.
Your recordings are so nice and super clear that every little nuance stands out. I am listening through good quality head phones...

You have GREAT ears!

My MSA Legend is a great guitar but not perfect. I've got one leg that squeaks in the socket constantly and 3 or strings that rattle/buzz a little most of the time. The guitar also has the strongest overtones I've ever heard, not sure if that is good or bad. This thing is light years ahead of many guitars, right with the other top guitars I've played, but it's not perfect. It does drift in the open tuning with temperature (so does a Stradivarius) and the so does the pedal changes. Cabinet drop is minimal but it's there.

I gave up obsessing with the minor quirks of the instruments and just enjoy playing them. Most of my instruments have been players and beaters with lots of home made pedals but great tone.

Overall, I am still thrilled with my MSA legend.

Greg

Now can I go back to playing my beloved honky tonk and hillbilly music? Smile
