"I know a little" solo

[skynfan]

I posted this question in another forum but only got one real response. Hopefully I'll get more here.

Can anyone tell me the notes that are being played in I think around the 8th measure in the piano solo of Skynyrd's "I know a little". It sounds like a bunch of notes crammed together. I don't really know how to describe it. I think he plays it with both hands very close together. This is the only part of the solo I can't figure out.Thanks in advance for any help.

Where is the measure of interest? Is it played over A, D, or E?

I think the part you're referring to is something like;

 

||: E D# D C A :|| (sorta sliding off the D# to the D)

 

At least I think that's the way I used to play it.

[Trill]

I plugged a midi file into BIAB and this is what I got.

D# gracenote to E and A and then roll back to an A an octave lower and then just keep rolling through that arppeggio with a shuffle feel

For The Real MC, I think it's over D. It's the measure right before the trill and piano gliss. He uses this riff in other solos too. Any help is appreciated.

That riff then is A-D# D C (the hyphen means play together, and the A is the highest note in the riff) repeated as fast as you can for two measures (the 5th and 6th of the 12 bars). The fingering I think that works is 5 on the A, 3 on the D#, slide 3 to the D, then 2 on the C.

 

The 7th measure (before the gliss) isn't a trill, it's D D# E G repeated as fast as you can, fingering probably 1 2 2 4.
