Author	Topic: Old Stand-by or Generic licks
Sonny Jenkins Member From: New Braunfels, Tx. 78130	posted 26 November 2000 06:33 PM profile When I started playing guitar (on real gigs) I had 3-4 licks that I "wore out". Man, I made those licks fit anything,,,and they got me by until I could acculmulate some more. I'm sure there are PSG players out there that can relate to this. I'd like to see (and I'm sure others would) those licks that you wore out,,,the ones you made fit anything,,,the ones that saved your bacon !! Com'on guys,,,what were the licks that got you by until,,,,,,,,

Fred Truitt Member From: Port au Port, Newfoundland, Canada	posted 27 November 2000 08:25 PM profile Sonny Hang on there. I'm posting one tomorrow. Like TELE this will be my first TAB. I'll troubleshoot it first and then post it. I've got it down on Notepad. Just give this ol' picker a little time. Regards....Fred

Ricky Davis Moderator From: Spring, Texas USA	posted 29 November 2000 02:07 AM profile Bill you stole my "getting lost" lick, note for note pal. That's beautiful and there is a very good reason behind that lick>when getting lost. Ricky
Bill Terry Member From: Bastrop, TX, USA	posted 29 November 2000 08:39 AM profile Yeah Ricky, guilty, I admit it.... See, all those one-on-one sessions are startin' to pay off Some 'famous' D-FW player once told me you'll get a lot of gigs if you know when to shut up. If I gotta play something, I always end up on the AB pedal combo stuff. ------------------ bterry.home.netcom.com
Steve Feldman Member From: Millbury, MA USA	posted 29 November 2000 06:54 PM profile I like the tab, too, Bill. Perhaps the Miles Davis approach. However, I'm going to be careful here - last time I commented on the tab for the One Note Samba, there was a big hoopla!
J Sigerson Member From: Los Angeles, CA	posted 29 November 2000 08:16 PM profile Bill, I'm new to PSG, but I've used that exact lick on standard guitar for years, for the exact same reasons. Is it originally a PSG lick? You rarely hear 6-stringers attempt it, and I've sure never heard it on a banjo! -Joel
Bill Terry Member From: Bastrop, TX, USA	posted 30 November 2000 08:33 AM profile Hey Steve, I think I jumped in on that 'One Note Samba' thing too... oops. Joel, I'm not sure about it being a PSG lick originally, but the guitar player in the last band I worked with sure didn't know it... ------------------ bterry.home.netcom.com
tim duvall Member From: greensburg,pa,usa	posted 30 November 2000 09:03 AM profile I was fooling around with Fred's lick and found it makes a pretty good ending for a pedals down chord. After you release the A pedal on string 5, play string 6, then string 5 again with the pedal down, then strings 3-4-5 with bothe A&B pedals down
Fred Truitt Member From: Port au Port, Newfoundland, Canada	posted 30 November 2000 05:05 PM profile Hi Tim Thanks for noticing. This is what it's all about. This type of thing makes for a wonderful jam session. I'm just an ol' country picker who has lots of licks in my head and thanks to this forum, I know how to tab, so I'll be on here with more stuff as long as there is someone interested. If I can help you please "holler" Regards.....Fred
Sonny Jenkins Member From: New Braunfels, Tx. 78130	posted 30 November 2000 06:59 PM profile Hey Fred,,,you got it right,,,if we can share what got us by,,,it's bound to help someone coming up same road ,,,,let's keep'em comin',,,,,,,

BENGT ERLANDSEN unregistered	posted 02 December 2000 03:08 AM The whole thing should actually be played over a D chord. My mistake. Bengt

BENGT ERLANDSEN unregistered	posted 02 December 2000 07:54 AM Fred, your old I to IV fits beautiful as I to VImajor ending at 9th fret A&B pedal. And continued in IImajor to V7. And the D and Db together in the last example is also nice. One in 3/4 time.

Fred Truitt Member From: Port au Port, Newfoundland, Canada	posted 03 December 2000 07:34 AM profile Hi Ricky! We're honored by you comments.

Roy McKinney Member From: Imnaha, OR	posted 05 December 2000 07:49 AM profile OK guys, what does the little square in the tab stand for? I'm old and CRS, but the steel is a great pass time. If I'm lucky I get to play a jam about once a month if I can drive the 3 hours to get there.
Fred Truitt Member From: Port au Port, Newfoundland, Canada	posted 05 December 2000 10:05 AM profile Hi Roy I'm not quite sure what you mean about the square. Can you give me an example of where it appears? We may have some kind of a software problem here. Thanks...Fred
