Russ Hicks Transcription?

Post by Leif Nicklas »

I’m not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but I’m looking for help in figuring out this brief 30 second steel mini solo by Russ Hicks on Ween’s “12 Golden Country Greats”

Anyone interested in helping me out?

great solo! Russ is all over that album and I love everything he played. I talked to him once and he said a couple of the session guys left when they heard some of the lyrics :lol:

I’ve had the privilege of playing this a couple times with Dean Ween and fairly regularly with Ween drummer Claude Coleman who lives in my town

I’ll try to tab it and/or make a short video soon

That is amazing! I’ve been working thru the whole song trying to learn every lick, what an amazing player he is.

I am new to steel, and this album is what got me hooked. I’ve just finished (not mastered) Franklin’s beginner course and now that I am ready to make some music, I’m going to pick this album apart. I’m curious if there is a an album that people use the licks as a template to learn PS
