Guest:David, Here's how I play the Lily lick. I hope you can understand this:

Work from an Am chord.
Play all individual notes with the thumb.
0/2 means to hammer from an open string.
Any number followed by a - has a UDU strum with the fingers (Maybelle used her index).
You can get a very similar sound using a flat pick.
Either Joan is capoed at the first fret or maybe I'm tuned a fret low.
