Lick Library and other new arrangements for lap steel

I have a new PDF folio on my site called "Lick Library". Here's one of the licks ... a behind-the-bar Country pedal steel-style bending lick on lap steel. The trick here is bending the 2nd note up 1/2 step, holding the bend, playing the 3rd note, then releasing the bend. There are all kinds of variations you can do with this. The final one is the same move as the bend on the C chord, but played as a hammer-on in the open-string position. I played this example very rubato to make sure I had the bends in tune. Enjoy!
