besides all the great licks Ive heard from the greats and may I mention the great pickin I believe Bruce Langhorne did on Dont think twice ,heres a lick a late friend of mine taught me years ago, kinda rocka billy but fun--- play likea D7th at third and fourth fret which is actually an E 7th. heres the hard part-- hit the third string with your right hand thumb or flat pick--then with pinky of left hand on second string at fifth fret, pick up the second and first string together--then pick the third strig again and after lifting the pinky of the fret pick the second and first string again.///now pick the second and first string with your left hand pinky on the second string at fifth fret pulling it off as soon as you sound both string 1 and 2.///then resolve back to the third string and play that alone.////as u see you keep going back to the third string and playing that alone and the first and second you pull together----////Improvise, good luck ,hope someone get it-----Rastaaaa

Rasta, I would advise against licking your guitar as the acid content in your saliva is detrimental to most lacquers. Additionally, the taste can be unpleasant.

I was never good at instructions but I don't get it. Can you put it in the context of a song?

John--at the moment Ill try n simplify it by saying that bassicly your playing the third string and then you pick up on the first and second together. so its 3/ 21/ 3/ 21 more or less ,its a rhytyinm lick ROCKABILLY STYLE . I just thought Id try this on the mudcat to see where it goes. maybe it was a bad idea ,perhaps not. Good luck Rastaaa

Oh yes its in the key of E, jusst remember its a D7 at third and fourth fret plus add your left hand pinky to fifth fret off and on looks like a cross sorf of

Sure it's a good idea. Anything you post that actually has to do with music is good.
