I was wondering if anyone had good licks that include 1st / 2nd String Raises. I am just wanting to add to my repertoire. Thanks in Advance

For 2nd string check out some of Lloyd's tab. He is the master of the second string.

If you don't have it already, Scott, check out the late Gary Stewart's "Live at Billy Bob's" CD. Steve Palousek is wall to wall on this live CD and you will hear him use 1st and 2nd string licks on breaks and intros throughout the album. Kickass honky tonk at it's best.

Thank you Mark and Jeff I will check both out.

Hey Scott, if you find some Steve Palousek licks on that Gary Stewart CD that you like you MIGHT find that I've tried to tab them.

Use the Forum search function and....Search Keywords: "Steve Palousek"..... Author: "Jeff Garden".... and Forum Section: "Tablature". I've referred to the whole tone raise on String 1 and the half-tone raise on String 2 as "G" (G lever) in the tab since most guys have both of those raises on the same lever.

Jeff I will search for the work you have done. I bought one of Steve's videos but I should have started with the beginner video. He started talking about minors, dominants, 7ths and 9ths and I was lost within the first few minutes. Unfortunately I rely on tabs way too much.
