I’m working out this ridiculous intro and wonder if anyone can offer some insight on what’s going on here. Seems like a lot of strings 1-4 descending in various combinations starting with a pickup at 15th fret, all over a long 5 (D7) chord. There are some unfamiliar positions in there though and I keep getting stuck.
Also, is this Curly Chalker? I know he played on the Wilburn Bros show and had a squirrelly way with the E9 chromatic strings.

| I didn't work it out but it sounds like classic Hal Rugg. I believe Hal tuned his 2nd string to C#, so you'll hear a lot of 2nd string lowered combinations in his playing! |

I agree. He turns me inside out with that stuff. It's so good. |

| Ah, makes sense this def does sound like Hal Rugg and looks like he also played with Wilburn Bros. I’ll try lowering string 2 to c# and see if that reveals anything. |

John is right. Hal is the one. When I was a kid, I always tried to get my hands on every Wilburn brothers album because of Hal. A lot of moving the needle and using a variac to learn the licks.
I was playing on the Opry and asked Weldon if I could play his guitar. To my suprise, he also had the 2nd string tuned down. |
