The "Memphis" vamp is in Scotty's Anthology, I believe. I've got tab for the "truck" vamp from Don Curtis around her somewhere... I'll try and find it.

Memphis vamp is in Winnie Winstons' PSG page 71. Check out Mickey Adams you-tube vids titled Memphis Tennessee.

On any of those types of vamps you can play around with those lower grips (strings 10,8,6- 8,6,5) from the no pedals, to pedals down, to the 3 fret higher position with A pedal and E to F lever.
Almost any kind of pattern works as long as it's rhythmic and assertive.
Comping gold.

My apologies, Robert, I see you mentioned this already. Mickey Adams shows us how - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axvueq-Q1Wg&playnext=1&list=PL4374431A05BE99E4&index=19

"Six days..." in A.
Slide from from the 4th fret to fret 5 on the sixth string, (stay on 5th fret...) pick string 4, than 5, 2 lowered to D, string 4 again and repeat till the vocals come in. Only a basic lick that fits (in my opinion).
