Anyone want to help me out with this? I just got a dobro today and would love to learn this song. Is it capoed up? |

I think it's just riffing on a G major chord for most of the time. On a dobro tuned to open G that shouldn't require a capo to perform. Basically double the sung melody line and throw in some quick slides up the neck to the appropriate fret for some of that neat "slide guitar" effect.
A great little nothing of a song. This is an original, correct? Anyone know if it's ever been played live? |

Cool...was it arranged like it is on Wawa with just the slide and harp, or did they turn it into a more propulsive full-band affair? |

they usually used it as a 2nd set intro. Just Ketch and Critter, I think. Then, the rest of the band would walk out in the middle. |
