Chords for BEC-1801 Half A Mind, Dickey Overby Intro D

Hi everyone, my name is Mickey Adams and I'd like to welcome you to my YouTube channel.
I live in Hill Country, Texas, about 65 miles northwest of the San Antonio area
in between Kerrville and Van Derren, a little town called Medina.
And about a mile from me is the Crow [N] Flies, is where Dickie Overby and his wife DG were residing at the time of Dickie's passing. _
_ Now, the San Antonio area _ [D#]
harbors a lot of pedal steel guitar players, and there are [F#] no slouches.
There are some really fine musicians in our area.
And Dickie Overby and Randy Reinhardt were two of the absolute [C#m] icons.
[E] _ Not only in the pedal steel guitar world, but I mean, just the western swing, they're just so ingrained in the music industry.
And they both had very, very long careers.
And they influenced a lot of us, but most of all, they were so difficult.
Their individuality had come [F] out to a point where they were so difficult to [N] emulate
that you'd be tearing your hair out trying to find out where Dickie got that one note in that chord form with such a simple _ copedent.
And you really have to study these guys.
And _ so what I want to do is give you today Half a Mind by Dickie Overby.
We're going to listen to it.
We're going to learn it at the same time, okay?
[F#] I have run this a couple of times, and [D#] I think I've got it in my head.
But we're going to learn it [D#] together.
_ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] Get that last one. _
_ _ [Bm] _ Okay, here's the first one. _
Then we'll break it down.
_ _ [A] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#] I have a cascade.
[C#] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[E] _ _ [Bm] No, that's [E] without any emotion or _ _ _ _ vibrato or anything like that.
I just want to play it kind of straight the first time through.
All right, [F#] so let's listen to [G] it one more time.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ Okay, [F#] here's where we're going to start.
A and B pedals down and split string number six.
[B] Let's go ahead and arm that one.
Let's lower six a whole step with the A and B pedals down.
And we're going to begin at position number ten with strings four and [G] five. _
Move up [F#] a half step and do four, five, and six.
[G#] _
_ _ _ [A] Up another half step. _
That's the first two beats. _ _ _ _ _
If you want to pivot on the B pedal here, _ _
_ _ [G#] _ _ _ _ _
you can actually pivot the [E] A too.
But these are the basic notes.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ The next part, we're going to move up to 15, and we're [F#] going to stretch out to three, five, and eight.
And the trick here is to alternate back and [G] forth. _ _ _ _ _ _
Eight with the thumb and three, five with the pivs. _
We're going to do that twice.
_ [A] _ _
Into the A and B at position number 12.
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [G] We're going to slide this down while it's ringing a whole step here to position number ten.
_ _ [F#] Now we're going to release this, dampen, and move down to position number eight with the E's raised to F.
[C#] _ We're going to strike three, four, five at A.
This is our G7.
[D#] _ _ _ _ [C] Excuse me, our A7.
_ _ _ [A] _ Down to position number five.
And now we're going to change string groups _ _ [Dm] to three, five.
Let's use three, four, [E] and _ [D] six. _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ Now we're going to move up to position [F#] number ten in cascade.
Three, one, _ _ _ _ [C#] four, two, _ _ [A] five.
Three, one, four, two, [C#] five.
We're _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D#] going to do a slur at position number _ _ _ five [A] with the A and B pedals.
[D] _ If you're going to have six in there, _ _ _ use them both.
_ _ [A] _
_ _ But he's actually playing just the [G#] third and fifth [D] tone. _ _ _ _ _
[B] Slide up to position number seven with no pedals. _
_ _ _ _ Back to position number five with the A [C] pedal.
_ _ _ _ _ And that concludes it.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
This is four and five with the E's lowered.
One more time.
[C] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [Em] _ _ [N] Okay, let's see how close we [D] got.
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [C] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ I hear one little [E] discrepancy in there, but we're really, really close.
That ought to give you some ammunition to work with.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
My name is Mickey Adams.
See you right back here with your steel guitar or so long.
