“Boot Heel Drag” is an instrumental in the key of A written by the great steel guitarist Herb Remington and recorded with Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys in 1949. You’ll learn the introduction, the melody as played by the steel, the triple guitar/mandolin solo section (played by Eldon Shamblin, Johnny Gimble, and Tiny Moore on the original recording), and the “drag” part played by the steel guitar. In this video, Matt walks you through the intro and the basic chord-melody statement as played by Remington.
