I'm working through this and all is well until I get to 2:09. Love the sound here but the first steel riff eludes me. I can't seem to find the right notes. How would ya'll play this?
Thanks

It's a BC pedal lick, one fret above home, sliding back to home. Done twice.

Try hitting strings in this order (sorry, tab is too hard to write and post):

Hit string 5 and then quickly slide up to fret 7
String 4
String 3

Hit 3-4-5 at the same time and slide up to fret 8 while stepping on BC, then slide back to 7

Hit 3-4-5 again in fret 8 with BC still down, then slide back to 7
Release BC and hit 4-5

In fret 2, AB pedals down, hit 4-5A then rock off of A and hit 6B... I'm sure you got it from there with the A-pedal off-and-on pumping that follows on 6B-5.

Thanks Tucker! Your excellent explanation helped me see the light.
I really appreciate you taking the time to listen to this and work it out.
