Phrase using 2nd and 4th strings

Post by Eric OHara »

This phrase caught my ear from a live recording of Merle Haggards band
With the fabulous Mr. Norm Hamlet.
It can actually work across relative keys in many positions but for
Reference purposes try these in the key of “G”.

Hi Eric -

Norm has many tricks up his (under rated) sleeve.

Good catch!

Check it! Neil Flanz did a similar lick on Gram Parson's version of "California Cotton Fields" at 1:35:
