A transcription of Paul Franklin's steel solo from Mark O'Connor's "Pick it apart".

An mp3 sample of the solo is here:

And here's a slow speed, steel only, mp3 file
http://user.tninet.se/~rmz810g/pickapartsolo.mp3

Have fun!

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.

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!

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!

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 | % | % | % |

is "p0" the full step lower?

My guitar's not set up to test my assumption but I believe that denotes "pull-off" and the H is hammer-on.

yeah, po is "pull off"...don't know why I didn't simply write "p"

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.

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.

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.

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?

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...

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
