Bruce Bouton backup lick on Uncle Pen

Post by Mark Hargrove »

Hello, can anyone tell me how Bruce Bouton plays the lick starting at ~1:31 on Ricky Skagg's Uncle Pen? Going from the 1 to the 4 into the chorus.

Thanks!

I don't need complete tab, just an idea of where to start (what position, what's he doing in general).

Hi Mark, I don't do Tab but here's a little video lesson of my take on the lick.

Yes thanks Dale, that is perfect. And thanks to Marty Broussard for replying offline and pointing me in the right direction. This is a very useful lick!
