An mp3 sample of the solo is here: http://user.tninet.se/~rmz810g/pickapart.mp3 And here's a slow speed, steel only, mp3 file http://user.tninet.se/~rmz810g/pickapartsolo.mp3 Have fun!

David L. Donald Member From: Koh Samui Island, Thailand	posted 04 April 2004 07:15 AM profile Thanks Niklas IT's stuff like this that made me put PF's name on the Mount Steelmore monument!
Niklas Widen Member From: Uppsala, Sweden	posted 04 April 2004 07:59 AM profile Yeah, ain't he great? I finally managed to upload the mp3 file with the steel only, at slow speed, to make following the tab easier. http://user.tninet.se/~rmz810g/pickapartsolo.mp3 /Nicke W
Jon Light Member From: Brooklyn, NY	posted 04 April 2004 08:09 AM profile You are sick man, Nicke, to sit down and tab that. (and lest the cultural/language thing cause problems, I say that in deep respect!) I haven't spent any time with it but I will. That is hot. As with all of the great players, I can't listen to Paul's playing without gaining a little something and with your efforts there's more chance to gain. Thanks!

Jay Fagerlie Member From: Lotus, California, USA	posted 04 April 2004 09:15 AM profile Niklas, great job. What album is this from? Thanks Jay
Niklas Widen Member From: Uppsala, Sweden	posted 04 April 2004 09:23 AM profile It's from Mark O'Connor's "The New Nashville Cats" from 1991. This is one cool track, with Mark and Brent Mason doing some killer solos in addition to Paul's ride! /Nicke W
Niklas Widen Member From: Uppsala, Sweden	posted 04 April 2004 11:31 AM profile I wrote this on a mac, and while looking just fine on that, it seemed to be totally messed up on my PC. I removed the chords above the tab and that seemed to help. So here are the changes to play over, if you'd like to make a band-in-a-box track or whatever: \| C \| % \| G \| % \| Bb \| C \| G \| % \| \| C \| % \| G \| % \| Bb \| C \| D7 \| % \| \| Em \| % \| Eb \| % \| G \| % \| A7 \| % \| \| Am \| % \| % \| C \| D7 \| % \| % \| \| F#m \| Bb \| % \| D7 \| % \| (break ) \| G \| % \| G7 +5 \| % \| \|C \| % \| E \| % \| A7 \| % \| % \| G \| \| C \| % \| B \| % \| Bm \| % \| E7 \| % \| \| Am \| % \| D7 \| % \| G \| % \| % \| % \| /Nicke W [This message was edited by Niklas Widen on 04 April 2004 at 12:08 PM.]
Nicholas Dedring Member From: Brooklyn, New York, USA	posted 04 April 2004 11:37 AM profile is "p0" the full step lower?
Jon Light Member From: Brooklyn, NY	posted 04 April 2004 11:57 AM profile My guitar's not set up to test my assumption but I believe that denotes "pull-off" and the H is hammer-on.
Niklas Widen Member From: Uppsala, Sweden	posted 04 April 2004 12:06 PM profile yeah, po is "pull off"...don't know why I didn't simply write "p"
Nicholas Dedring Member From: Brooklyn, New York, USA	posted 04 April 2004 12:07 PM profile D'oh. I had actually just been thinking about it and was going to edit my stupid question out. Now I can't. Jeez, Jon, thanks a LOT. The full speed clip is absolutely mind-bending... it just doesn't seem like that should be possible, almost.
Charles Curtis Member From: Bethesda, Maryland, USA	posted 04 April 2004 12:36 PM profile Thanks Niklas; I doubt if I'll ever get this down but at least with the tab there's hope. If I'm ever over your way I would like to listen. I sincerely hope that you keep up the good work.
Mark Switzer Member From: Norwalk, California, USA	posted 10 April 2004 12:30 AM profile Haven`t had a chance to try the tab yet but you`re to be commended for even attempting this monster. Keep up the good work. Mark
CrowBear Schmitt Member From: Ariege, - PairO'knees, - France	posted 10 April 2004 12:56 AM profile Totally Mind Blowing Niklas : Thanx
John Sluszny Member From: Brussels, Belgium	posted 10 April 2004 12:28 PM profile Thanx for the edit!
Ricky Davis Moderator From: Spring, Texas USA	posted 10 April 2004 03:50 PM profile quote: Thanx for the edit! Your welcome....and I might say; that these are some of the hardest Edits I've encountered...ha.. Ricky
Niklas Widen Member From: Uppsala, Sweden	posted 11 April 2004 07:27 AM profile Yeah, writing it on my mac seemed to screw it all up for all you pc viewers!
Jay Riddle Member From: Pennsboro, W.V.	posted 12 April 2004 02:07 PM profile Does the D= lower 2 1/2 mean that the D goes to a C note with the knee lever?Or is it D lowers to C# like I'm hoping.If it's not could somebody please post a reasonable alternative tab that will suffice? Jay ------------------
Niklas Widen Member From: Uppsala, Sweden	posted 12 April 2004 02:16 PM profile With lower 2 1/2 I meant lower 2nd string 1/2 step..I guess I could have chosen a better way of writing that...
Jon Light Member From: Brooklyn, NY	posted 12 April 2004 02:19 PM profile Jay---read that as "D lever lowers the 2nd string one half step"------in other words from D# to D. oooops---posting at the same time as Niklas [This message was edited by Jon Light on 12 April 2004 at 02:20 PM.]
Jay Riddle Member From: Pennsboro, W.V.	posted 12 April 2004 02:22 PM profile Or does it just mean D lowers the 2 string a half-tone?Help........I'm a little confused as to what it means. Jay
Jay Riddle Member From: Pennsboro, W.V.	posted 12 April 2004 02:27 PM profile Whoops! I didn't expect a reply so soon!Thanks fellas I guess I kinda answered my own question while you guys were writing a reply to it.Happy Steelin' and Thanks! Jay
