I need help with voicings on this Strait tune on E9th (or C6th). I think the verse (4/4) chart is basically:
(" = 2 BEATS)

EDIT REFLECTS MY "NEW" UNDERSTANDING.
(I MAY BE LEARNING)

4/1 2-" 1 1 4/1 2-" 1 1
4/1 5" 6- 6- 1 1

The band plays turnaround:
4/1 2-" 1 1 4/1 2-" 1 1

Is this correct? Has anybody worked out a steel solo for this turnaround? I can't seem to figure out where it is othere than octave melody (strings 4 & 8; NOTES 4,3,2,1).

We're playing this tune without fiddles this weekend...I know I'm going to have to play the turnaround for it.

Can you help me?

Best regards,

bUd

Just saw your note Bud. It's probably too late for this weekend, but if you post a clip of the turnaround, I'll try to help you.

Jeff,

Please check your e-mail. I have sent you an e-mail clip of this song in the Media Player format. Let me know if you can't access it.

You may have to coach me on how to convert a Media Player cut to MP3. If you need me to, I'll resend it.

Thanks for your offer.
