I'm pretty well positive the great Mel Tillis wrote it. Another one who just doesn't get nearly enough recognition in my book.

this is the waylon song that got me through a rough patch back in my early 20's... many miles were driven in the wide open spaces of the west in my old truck listening to this song....

Mental Revenge by Waylon Jennings

I think this is pretty close to the the way he plays it on the video on youtube. It sounds good to me.
Let me know if you think its not right, maybe with your guys help we can perfect it.


s = slide
h = hold down
r = release

I don't really know how to tab the ben dpart right, watch the video, it's got a little chickin' pickin' in it, its fun.

Intro

This is how I play the intro to Lonesome On'ry and Mean, but it could use some work. I would love to have a solo for this as well:

As for the phaser could y'all elaborate a little more. For example what phaser did Waylon actually use? Does anybody know? Settings? For a time that was the Nashville sound everybody was doing it Hank Jr., Alabama, etc. I'd love to get a little of that style. Mojotele or chubbsdarcy would y'all care to share your stteings phaser, amp, guitar. Mucho thanks in advance. Great thread.

Waylon used a phase 100 in the mid to late 70's and into the 80's...

Later, he used several different phasers etc.. but the mid to late 70's is an mxr experience.

I play waylon stuff every gig I play and I love that phaser sound... I have used a homemade byoc phaser for the last three years or so... but recently switched to using a line6 m9... I use the 'barberpole phaser' for the waylon stuff...

my homemade phaser has one knob and I set it at about 9:30

I'd bet on a 100 you could set it about intensity 10:30 and speed about 9:00 and you'd get right in there... the phaser can sure cover some minor sins!

Getbent, you're right, he appeared to stay faithful to that mxr for many years, however as you also mentioned, he did seem to play through a bunch of different units toward the last '70's, he appeared to do quite a bit of jumping around from one to the other, including the EH small stone-this is the one I got when I found a good deal on one, I just turn the knob all the way counterclockwise on mine and the switch set for the thinner cleaner setting and just boost up the signal on my amp...however, I recall reading somewhere that he started using some kind of tc electronics chorus rig during the '80's...and then of course he mentioned in his autobio himself that he began using the boss phase shifter during the late '70's as well, after being introduced to it by eric clapton during the "White Mansions" sessions....there are many, many, MANY threads on this forum about waylons gear from many folks who know much more about it than me, in fact nearly everything Ive mentioned are facts Ive recycled from other peoples posts....good luck and happy holidays to you folks, lets keep the Waylon spirit alive!

chubbsdarcy,

Yep, totally agree. I've used just about every phaser out there and you can get the waylon thing going on with all of them... heck, that little pepperoni phaser from danelectro will get it done for 19 bucks or whatever....

I think he used univibes, flangers, etc.. to get in that territory.. heck he played out of those fender super sixes (my he man amp of all time)

I'd say any phaser will get you into the right territory... I built the BYOC and it is great!

On my MXR Phase 90, it ranges from 9 oclock to 11 depending on the song.

Does anyone know how to play the intro to the live version of Lonesome, On'ry & mean. I just can't seem to get it, it's driving me nuts!

While we are on Waylon ... and so many knowledgable folks ... my favorite tune by Waylon was one of his latter tunes. It was a song about a banker in Macon, GA, his cheatin' younger beautiful wife, and a rose that now grows in the backyard. Do any of y'all recall this tune? Where I can find it? Chords? Etc.? Mucho gracias in advance to the best folks on the internet.

Thank you, thank you, thank you westex! What a great song. I would assume thats Reggie Young playing the lead and Waylon the rhythm? This song reminds me of "The Conversation" Waylon and Hank Jr. key of D and somebody in the background playing some nice open string stuff. Waylon?
