After 40 years on E-9th, finally starting on C-6th. I can play the first part of the ride with the hammer on's, but I am just not familar enough with the tune to know what happens after that. C-6th is like a foreign language to me right now, I am not sure I could find it even if I had the audio file. I really need both the audio and the tab, I guess.

You can probably get it right from Herb Remington. I got it from him years ago. Great guy.

Hi George, did you ever get tab for this tune from the late and great HR? I'm trying to learn this tune and would love some C6 tab.I've learned the first part from watching the video posted below, but I'd really like to learn how HR played that chord stuff the second time through the changes. Mind blowing to me. Hard to see whats going on in the videos I've found of Mr. Remington and others playing the tune. If anybody else has tab, or wants to take a shot at playing that second part, pease let me know. I know tabbing is a lot of work, but if anybody is willing to record a closeup video of yourself playing the chord stuff, that would be a huge help. Wishful thinking I suppose...

Thanks, Andy. Does this tab include the part of the tune that begins around 0:58 on this recording? That's the part I'm needing help with.

Ben, no it's the simple head and bridge, not the improv Herb does on your clip. It's closer to this 1952 version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLu-NuZ9W8U.

Herb used A6th tuning on both his pedal and non-pedal steels. A Lot of that chord improv he played on the cut is out of simple three-note chord grips derived from the harmonized major scale.

I'll play around with that. That's helpful intel. I don't have a high G string on my C6 pedal neck so I may need to jump up 12 frets for some of that stuff. I'll play around with that.

Thanks again,

Ben, here's how I hear the first part of Herb's chord solo in C6th with a high E. I didn't take the time to dial-in the exact rhythms but this is in the ball park and I believe the chords sound right.

Wow-Thanks so much! This is very helpful.

As a side-do you know if Herb Remington played this tune on a C6 or with his A6 tuning? He plays it in D too. Of all the covers of the tune I've found, I've never found anybody playing it in F on a C6 (equivalent to D on an A6)...

I don't think Herb ever played C6th but I could be wrong. Smile

I sent this to someone, the other day, can't remember who, but if you'll send me an e-mail, I'll send you a copy by e-mail. If I am a little slow getting it to you, it means, Tom and I are swamped.
