Set 'Em Up Joe?

Does anyone know the intro on this? I can tell you have to detune the 10th string (kinda like on Slide Off Your Satin Sheets).I can get it pretty close I think, but I'd rather be dead on if I can.

Thanks
David

Somebody out there knows this information. I asked the question a month or so ago, and got the answer. Unfortunantly, my memory does not serve me well. Check under music back a few weeks.

David;
I think you tune your 10 th string B down to F#, and raise it to A with your floor pedal.
At least that works for me.

David, on most guitars if you tune the 10th string down 5 half tones from B to F# you will find that the A pedal that was raising the 10th string one full tone from B to C# will raise it 1 1/2 tones to A with no retuning of the pedal. It is a pretty neat sound that you can tune to and play around with it and go right back to the original tuning very easily and quickly.

Mr Emmons has this song intro tabbed out in one of his courses. He played on the session. There are no deviations of the standard E9th tuning on this intro.

George, I think we've all decided in Jon's link and other posts that Jim Vest played on this tune. Possibly you're thinking of another song?!?

Opps, Sorry: wrong song, wrong artist, wrong steel player, wrong intro.

I will try to read closer next time. Thanks Jim for pointing that out for me. I knew that Jim Vest played on the aforementioned song. Don't know where I was at when I wrote that.
Thanks again. George<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by George Duncan Sypert on 30 October 2000 at 04:52 PM.]</p></FONT>

Thanks for the responses guys. I think I've about got this one figured out. I tried it when I first started playing, and couldn't get it. I sat down and tried it the other day after I posted this and got it alot closer than I did before. If I can get it closer to what Jim Vest played, I'll post it.

Thanks
David
