Merle's Swingin' Doors Transcription?

[DetentionLevel]

I'd be much obliged if someone could point me towards a faithful transcription of Merle Haggard's Swingin' Doors. I've been working on pedal steel-type licks and I HAVE to learn this one. Even if it's in a book you know of or something, I'd be happy to go out and buy it.

Thanks!

There is a great tutorial, with Tab, of how to play the Guitar Solo on Terry Downs' excellent instructional DVD "Honky Tonk Guitar Essentials"

Good deal, it's a good one. I got it many years ago.

Good filler licks

Here's a great look at a way to approach the opening Steel part of "Swinging Doors" on a guitar...yes I know they are playing "Blue and Lonesome" but that opening is lifted almost directly from Swinging Doors (except this song is in A and Swinging Doors is in G)

[AJ Love]

Beginning Intro (from the YouTube clip of "Blue and Lonesome") (b=bend, rb=reverse bend, br=bend & release)...this song is in A, Swinging Doors is in G...to play it in G just transpose it down 2 frets

--------------8--10--(10)--12--10--12b---------------12rb--10-----
------9--11-------------------------------------------------------

You, sir, are the MAN. Thanks!

[telequacktastic]

Awe thanks man. That song TOTALLY deserves the licks copped right, don't it?

We do it in D. I wasnt able to work up a decent transposition of the intro so I made up my own. I will take a look at the write up in D, above..I also made up a stringbendery break....

Its a great tune and even with the license weve taken with it, always gets a good response...
