Hi All,
Per request, I've been delving into the B-Bender more and have some new content coming out!
I've listened to a lot of Sneaky Pete steel playing over the years, voluntarily and involuntarily. I've also studied his steel playing a lot of over the years. Sometimes when I'm caught off guard by a Sneaky solo and I don't analyze it quickly, he sounds like a psychedelic country guitarist to me instead of a steel player.
So, I've transcribed Sneaky's Sin City solo from the classic Flying Burritos Brothers album, "Gilded Palace of Sin". I tried to keep the transcription as accurate as possible, but still wanted to make it as effective as possible for guitar. So what I'm saying is, it's not exact but it's close enough.
I have more content coming out on the B-Bender so be sure to look for it in the Chicken-Pickin' Section: https://jeffsguitarandsteel.com/lessons/guitar/chickn-pickn
Also, here is the B-Bender Sin City Solo video lesson, with tab and a backing track:
