Need a lick tabbed....

Post by Pete Burak »

'Anyone already know this lick starting at approx 4min34sec mark?
I thought it was standard BC or Eb-lever lick, but there is some high-pitched "tension" note in there on the 2nd descending punch that I can't seem to find.
Go directly to approx 4min:30sec and listen:

This is a guess since I'm out of town away from my steel... but when it slides down one fret from the 5 chord, isn't it AB pedals with E-lower? Hitting strings 3&4,6,4&5, and then sliding down one fret at a time and repeating that string pattern/roll? It releases AB at one point and keeps E's lowered as it slides on down.

I will try it. I know it is in there :)
The second half sounds like Al Perkins' Six Days On The Road lick, with the E's lowered as you said, I think.

Six Days... Check! That may be where I first learned that AB with E-lower position.
