Country Licks and Tricks

Post by Gary Peters »

Hi All

My wife is away in Germany for 10 days, so 10 days of stuff to come. Here, for starters, is some good ole country riffing, with a twist.

Thanks Joe!

Problem is I can't actually imagine anyone ever using them in a real world (if there still is one) situation. Especially me!

And they're not that tricky at all...more licky if anything...which is quite bad in my book.

But cheers, don't let me put you off like I did myself.

Thanks Dan...as always!!

Yes, a pretty standard E9/B6 copedent...you can find what I've got on the Williams Guitar Company website...they have a nice chart. I just took what they gave me and work with that.

And thanks for listening to the other stuff...that's where the real action (if you can call it that) is.

So I'm famous in the UK Ken? Ha!!

Let's say my almost total anonymity is heading westward. Maybe I should build my own steel guitar, that seems to work in the UK!

Luv Ya Ken!
