For Fred Truitt.
A good example is the posting just prior to mine from Dave Van Allen posted on 4 Dec.
His tab in E9 Key of C starts out on the third string with a numeral 3, and then two square boxes show up then a 3B. After that it shows a 3 on the 4th , 1st, 5th, 4th, and back to the 5th string then two more squares, etc etc.
Thanks for the response.

Hello Roy

What you are seeing is supposed to be a "tilde" or a sideways "s" which is used to show a pedal action or a gliss or sustain etc. I'm no computer expert but it has something to do with the character set. I have noticed this "square" on some of the earlier IBM keyboards. Please run this question by bOb or Ricky Davis. I'm sure it's a little glitch that can be ironed out. Does this appear on all the tabs in the thread? I can see how this can be frustrating for you. Best Holiday Wishes.........Fred

I see what ya'll are saying now. Yeah those are supposed to be a "tilde" which is a squigly horizontal line usually found on the key just to the left of the Number 1 key. I have't thought of other key boards and the entrys they make; until I remembered trying to type on a Dutch keyboard in Holland>ouch.
Anywho>seems to me that the problem you might be having reading the "tilde" would be some font recognition prob>bob? Help>what's going on here?
I'm seeing the "tilde"; but for some folks it's coming out different.

The square box shows up when a character doesn't exist in the font that you're using. Tab uses your browser's "monospaced' font. Probably you've changed this from its default setting at some point. A lot of cheap fonts don't have all of the characters in them.

In Internet Explorer, use the 'Options...' command in the 'Tools' menu. Click the button that says 'Fonts...'. Set the monospaced or 'plain text' font to one of the following: Courier New, Andale Mono, or Monotype.com.

Thanks guys, problem is now fixed. The fonts were screwed up in IE5 and on Microsoft IE (WEB settings)
It's hell to get old and CRS.
Must be the cold and snow up here in the mountains.

Hey Roy; Ricky here. I'm glad it worked out for ya and I went ahead and deleted the other post in brainstorming this matter.

Hello Tony

Thanks to Sonny, he started a wonderful thread. He made us all think and then contribute some things we may take for granted. This has been a wonderful experience for me too! I have learned so much from these fellow pickers. As the old saying goes "You can't buy this in stores"
Best Holiday wishes to you and yours and I hope to see you on here soon, giving us some of your tab. Regards........Fred

It took 18 pages to print this post but I think it will be worth it. And thanks to everyone for sharing. The first one I learned lowers the E's, 5 & 8 strings on the first fret, AB on 3rd fret, open 8th fret, E's lowered 13th fret,AB 15th fret then slide back down to 13th let off the pedals and push the knee again. There's some letting off knee and pedals but you,ll hear where and when. It,s just playing the C chord up the neck with an ending. It took about two weeks to get it all togather and I felt pretty cocky and though this is a piece of cake but...WRONG! I,ve got Buddy's E9th Chord Vocabulary ($10.00) from Scotty's and got the start of that run from It.

This is a great thread from 2 years ago. Lots of intros, endings, riffs and fills for a newbie to work on.

I've been playing along with songs on CD by grabbing notes out of the chords, it sounds OK but I'd like to add some classic riffs to my "tool-box".

Got any more ?

Thanks for bringing this one back to life folks. Aa a new (about 2 months) player I have really enjoyed this thread as a way of learning some licks to go along with the chords. Please keep these little tidbits coming along.

Also, thanks to everyone who recommended the Joe Wright Techniques book. Those exercises were just what I needed to get going..

Thanks - Phil

I'm bumping this again since I rediscovered it in a search and it's useful.

Also - since johnnyb posted that extremely helpful blues scale - it made me think. Most of these standbys are the for country stuff.

Anyone have any favorite standby rock/blues licks as well?

When you try the Mooney lick above, use the Bflat lower on the 5 string LKV instead of the A pedal for a different hot lick. I would say this will prabably be one of your best licks once you get it down. Yes, it is still Mooney all the way. Going from fret 3 to fret one is a G lick, and works good going down 2 frets from the open position.
More info from Sonny; moved here
This is like Ebbs lick above except you use your Bflat LKV on it instead of the A pedal.
I tried to explain the Mooney lick to someone and he thought i said to use the LKV in stead of the A pedal. And this is what we ended up with. Quite a good lick! Naturally do it faster as you learn it.

It sounds real good , how about comparing these two good licks. With some feedback from you guys?

Please move this to Sonny Jenkens discussion below. Use it as in the Ebb lick

Wow! Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to post the licks over the years. When this post started I didn't own a guitar, but thanks to the posting popping up again I can sure benefit from it today. It's funny just the other day I thought if only I knew a couple of licks that could get me through. It's comforting to know that's how many of you got going as well. From a new player (or someone trying to play), thanks again!
