The Writing On The Wall

Post by Pat Jenkins »

I don't know if anyone can help me with this or not, but, I am looking for the tab to The Mavericks' "Writing On The Wall". This is a killer steel break, and I would love to be able to do it justice...if at all possible. Thanks.

Pat,
Your right, it is a great song. I did figure out the intro and it's kind of easy but never tried the steel break. I will listen to it tomorrow.

Hi Pat,
Can't seem to find my Mavericks CD to listen to the break. I think I may have dubbed it to a cassette at one time also. I'll keep looking. It would also be nice to know who the steel player was on that cut.

John, I can send you an mp3 of the break, if you like. Our lead guitar player gave me the cd two weeks ago. It is an awesome cd.

Archie, I have looked at the cover and can not find any notes as to the steeler is, but, I miss a lot, to tell you the truth. Could well be Bruce.

Pat

This does not tell who played steel on that particular track but, is a good insight to their stuff. http://www.softshoe-slim.com/lists/m/mavericks.html
Cheers, Arch.

Thanks Pat
I would send it to Ricky Davis as well.
I'm sure he could figure it out faster than I can. I'm suprised you havn't gotten more response on this.

This is from our good friend, Tony Dingus. Just tried it out, sounds great. Thought everybody else would like to have this, too. Great break. Thanks again, Tony.
