The slide guitar is RB. I originally expected this song to have synth and keyboards, but because of the subject matter I fell back on my roots, Southern rock with a bluegrass backbone. https://soundcloud.com/willrockwell/over-the-edge OVER THE EDGE December 8, 2016 GGDD (2) Em D What were you thinking, C GAm now you've gone way to far EmC It took so long, so many lives, D to stand where we are GEm But here we are together, AmD it's too late to place the blame EmC and now we need to save what's left, D can you hear me call your name GDG Hold my hand, we're stepping over the edge GDG Hold my hand, we're stepping over the edge GCD Hold my hand (repeat) EmD Filled with suspicion CGAm now you think they're coming for you EmC gonna take your rifle, take your job, D then they'll come for your children too GEm how did you get so frightened AmD who told you your life was so bad EmC and why did you believe them D now you're gonna lose everything you have GDG chorus GCD (4) GD (2) Em D I don't want to shock you, C GAm you should know what's coming along EmC This is not TV, it's easy to see, D it's gonna come out wrong GEm The guy in charge says trust me, AmD he hasn't got a clue EmC But if you and I stand back to back, D we just might see it through GDG chorus GCD (4) G. **** Song Summary ********* Title: Over the Edge File:Over the Edge2.SGU Key=Em , Tempo 120, Length (m:s)=5:50 8 bar intro, 164 bar chorus, from bar 9 to bar 172.

I like the way the slide fits in a lot. Nice one! Take care. Greg I am from Florida, and one of my most memorable experiences was playing guitar at the back of a group of old-timers at the Suwannee Bluegrass Festival. I love banjo, have one in fact, and look for opportunities to use its unique energy. BB has great banjo performances, and the banjo sounds on my Yamaha keyboard are very realistic also, so my own instrument stays in the attic. They are quite hard to play. I used a new technique to build the slide part. I printed out the song with all its bars showing on BB, then played through with the vocal on Pro Tools, circling the bars where slide would work. Then when I went into RB, I could highlight those sections and use multi-riff to choose the parts.

I had the privilege during our bluegrass years to play with some world class banjo pickers. I like the texture you added with it. Often that doesn't work as well as it does here. Nice production!
