Lonestar's Amazed - The slide intro

Post by DJ Sillito »

I know this is probably a very easy slide. I have used string's 5 and 8 and slid from fret 15 to 10 and adding A & B pedals. Sounds good enoudgh to me but the recording of it seem's different. Anyone have a comment or two that may shed some light.

I don't know how to post tab so I'll talk you through this. Assuming you are doing the song in G from your post, start at the 10th fret strings 4,5 & 6 with B pedal down. Slide from 10th fret to 5th fret. Then slide from 5th fret to 6th fret while letting off B pedal and engaging A pedal and raising 4th string with which ever knee lever raises your 4th & 8th string a half tone. All this is done in one motion. Might be a lttle tricky at first but that should be the lick.

Thanks Gaylon. It's funny how you get one certain sound in your head and you don't see the other variations to achieve the same type of sound.
