Here’s a stab at transcribing Buddy’s seminal performance of “Wichita Lineman ” from the 1970 album
“Suite Steel” with a
3x3 setup .
If you can lower your 6th string a half tone, you can make the transition from G to Gm in measure 5 at the 3rd fret, which is going to be lot smoother than what I did here – but, hey, not everyone has that change.

HERE for the entire song.

Added 1/17/2021: Here's the intro for "Lineman" using the 6th string whole-tone lower (I call it the "G" lever in a
4x4 setup ).
