Couple of Hal licks

Post by Ernie Renn »

Here's a couple of licks I used last night on a really slow ballad. I haven't played them in years. Thought I'd share them with you all. <B> <font face="monospace" size="2"><pre>

You can play them both together, if you have the room. I used the second one for an ending, by retarding the last few positions and picking the notes of the last chord individually from bottom to top. I think Hal played these licks on "Life's Railway to Heaven" on the Steel Guitars of the Grand Ole Opry album a few years back.

Hope you can find a use for them!
