Hey Ricky, I didn't know how to get it all on one line. Fix it if you want to.

I would say that if you can learn every steel lick on this record .. you have completed learning the instrument.

SUCH a good record. I listened to it twice cuttin grass today and have been foolin around with some of the licks on tonight the bottle let me down. Branded man might be my favorite on the whole album

Johan Jansen · Post by **Johan Jansen** » 31 Aug 2013 9:51 am

Paul, I hope you help us out, do you use there your upperlever that raises 6th string 1 and half tone?
regards, Johan

better this way? Thanks B0b!

Might be easier with the bar at the 2nd fret for the 6th string manipulations.

Chris Tweed · Post by **Chris Tweed** » 6 Sep 2013 4:50 am

Just wondering if anybody has had a go at tabbing out the solo in Holding Things Together? The ascending run in the second half of the break is just sublime. If I can learn to play that, I will be a very happy man.

Harold Bullard · Post by **Harold Bullard** » 21 Sep 2013 10:24 am

Ok Chris, I'll take a shot at it. I know this can't be right on. Anything that sounds that good on the recording, I can't imagine would be this simple. But it'll work. You guys with better ears feel free to bleed on it. I'd like to get it right.

Alexander Rehfeld · Post by **Alexander Rehfeld** » 21 Sep 2013 12:07 pm

Harold, thank you so much for another great tablature. I've spend many hours of learning from your fantastic "Bakersfield Bound" transcriptions which have given me so many great rides and tons of inspiration

!

Harold Bullard · Post by **Harold Bullard** » 24 Sep 2013 2:30 pm

Found a typo. On the second page of the solo where it goes to the 18th fret, it should be the 19th fret.

Steve Pawlak · Post by **Steve Pawlak** » 25 Sep 2013 5:26 am

Anyone try Fightin Side? I really like the "run down" part of that solo.

Harold Bullard · Post by **Harold Bullard** » 25 Sep 2013 8:18 am

Oh and on the first of the intro of Holdin' Things Together, it should read 9B to 9AB. Guess I oughta do a better job of proofreading before I post anything.

Chris Tweed · Post by **Chris Tweed** » 29 Sep 2013 10:38 pm

Harold, thanks so much for doing this. I wasn't expecting anyone to respond so I haven't checked the thread for a few days. This looks great. I'm going to work on it this evening. Thanks again.

Tony Tipton · Post by **Tony Tipton** » 1 Oct 2013 7:03 am

Harold, thanks for taking the time to get the tab for us. It has really helped. Tony

Harold Bullard · Post by **Harold Bullard** » 2 Oct 2013 9:40 am

Fellas, this'n 'bout wore my ears out.

Steve Pawlak · Post by **Steve Pawlak** » 2 Oct 2013 2:54 pm

Wow
Thank you Mr Bullard
Can't wait to get to work on it

Steve

Tony Tipton · Post by **Tony Tipton** » 2 Oct 2013 6:05 pm

Thanks to Steve Pawlak for getting this thread started. Harold, you must be puttin' in some overtime to get this tab out !

Dave Campbell · Post by **Dave Campbell** » 5 Oct 2013 3:35 am

as a newcomer to the pedal steel, i want to thank everyone who is taking the time to post these tabs. not only is it invaluable to be able to see what's happening in the stuff i'm hearing, but it's like christmas morning every time a new one comes up!

I think Franklin agrees that he is still learning and he knows all those licks.

Glen Derksen · Post by **Glen Derksen** » 25 Oct 2013 4:05 am

Anyone who is willing to tab out 'He don't Deserve you Anymore' would make me a very happy man.

This is one kicka$$ album! Paul Franklin sure nailed down that Bakersfield style!

Daniel Policarpo · Post by **Daniel Policarpo** » 27 Oct 2013 2:27 pm

Thanks for this thread guys, I'm just getting to the point where I can take a good stab at some of these classic moves without making the dog pee on the rug. This record rip or what!

Glen Derksen · Post by **Glen Derksen** » 8 Nov 2013 3:03 am

Please? Pretty please? If anyone has the time, it would really help me progress if I learned all that. Thanks.
