Hi folks!

My name is Dow. Originally from the great state of Texas....after 8 years in the military....I now live in WA state and work for the railroad. I took my banjo all over the world on a submarine in the Navy, and now I take my guitar with me when I travel on freight trains. Sometimes my guitar is all I've got away from home. As you all may notice...I'm a HUGE Jerry Reed junkie! I've been fixated with him and his style of playing ever since I saw "Smokey and the Bandit" as a kid...10-11 years old. I've been "hooked" on him ever since and I just turned 37 the other week.

My KZread account started out just showing some videos for friends and family. But through support and comments...I see that there are all sorts of Reed fans in the world who crave to listen to and also play his style. I know how happy Reed's music makes me...so...I'm happy to help anybody I can find happiness in learning or enjoying a new Reed tune anyway possible. Enjoy! Dow

    Thanks Douthitt! I’ve only ever seen 1 other in 40 years, and he was from Minnesota and spelled it with one T at the end….and get this…he said his own name wrong!!! In Texas we say it like “Dow-thitt”….up in Minnesota where he was from, he said it “Dah-thitt”.

    The tuning is exactly what you said. Drop D but half step flat. Its a D-Flat 2sus4 chord. Db Ab Db Gb C Eb it's weird because the B goes to C.

    Thanks buddy! That was quite awhile ago when I recorded it. And I had a set of nylon/steel strings I was trying out….didn’t care for them…gave the guitar a different sound than I prefer.

    I'm willing to bet that's Eric on mando and Marshall Brickman on 5-string. Very few realize that Eric was the original mando man in The Greenbriar Boys way back in the day.

    @@texican65 Thank you for your answer, I found this guitar, I lowered the strings and put a very strong tension, it had to be fine. Maybe I'll saw off a bit... I take back the guitar that I had stopped to work in 1978. I was Shoemaker for 44 years, and now retired. My idol is Jerry Reed. I worked on Jerry's breakdown, Guitar Man is next. Thank you and see you soon. THIERRY GIRARD. Old French Guitar Man

    All those little it's of guitar magic going on in Jerry's songs take serious drive for me to learn them from tabs. Years back when I had all types of pep in me It musta took me 6 months i accurately play the banjo roll stuff in muleskinner blues. I already play this turn around but watching you break it down makes this process so much more digestible. And you have know to pull the strings just right get that feelin in it. I'd love to learn that last lick you played at the end of the video. And so many others. Thanks dow texican
