Take these Chains from my Heart - Mike Johnson

Post by steinar »

Does anybody have tab on Mike`s intro and first few bars of his solo on his instrumental take on this tune? C6.

Yes, Ricky, that`s the one. While I won`t be able to do all the single string picking Mike does, the basic intro and main theme of solo would do. Great playing, follows the tune, adds some elegant chords and it grooves!

Well they took that link down I put up; I guess those tracks are for sale somewhere
Well I can't tab it; cause I ONLY have one pedal steel these days and it's a LDG.....No C6 for me.
Someone might give you and help; it does sound cool.(course I LOVE anything Mike plays)

Thanks anyway, Ricky, - for your forthcoming reply and for putting that link up. You certainly have contributed immensely tab-wise up through the years to the steel community! Our common departed friend Tom Brumley had many good words to say about you, and I whole heartedly agree!
