This video is the second in a series of four videos where I demonstrate the pedal steel parts played by Sneaky Pete Kleinow during the verses on the studio version of Six Days On The Road as recorded by The Flying Burrito Brothers, apparently for an abortive third album consisting of country covers.
In this video, the pedal steel backing parts played during verse 2 are demonstrated.
I start off playing the final bit for verse 1 as the parts for verse 2 come immediately after verse 1.
Immediately after verse 2 is the guitar solo which was played by Bernie Leadon in the record. You can see how I play it in the video here: • Flying Burrito Brother...
The next video will be the pedal steel parts for verse 3.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Great care and effort has been expended on trying to ensure that the steel part is accurate. However there is always a risk that what I am demonstrating could be wrong in terms of note, in terms of position of the steel bar, in terms of which strings are plucked. I could have been suffering from slight deafness on the day of recording or I was feeling off because the wife was nagging me again. This video represents the best that I could do after researching the original recording and any available footage. Unless I was standing right next to the player and videotaping the performance, there’s no way I can accurately say for certain that what I play is perfectly accurate to what the original player did. Do not assume my demonstration as the final word, cast in stone-like. I could be wrong. Nobody is perfect, least of all me. Viewers should exercise caution when watching the video and they would be well advised to check for themselves against the original recording and any associated footage. I may be playing it wrong but you may be playing it right. Isn’t this fun, learning things together?
