I did a search, and didn't come up with much new stuff.

I've been trying to come up with some stuff to play with the "Nervous breakdown" or "Hummingbird" tunes. the A pedal on/off 5 with the lowered 2 and the 3 played simult, or up three frets with the 5 on/off and the 2-3 simul, OR two frets down etc, works good, and the old mooney two frets down A pedal and up two releasing (repeating and moving) it covers a lot of stuff too.

Any new ideas? Maybe one similar to the old Franklin descending run..

Thanks for any input. If I had a decent freeware tab proggy I'd probably jot down a bunch of my faves.. I'm working on it.

is a typical six string cliche, but is quite hard to play at real fast tempos...sounds best if played real snappy and with almost muted bass notes....Then check out Sonbone's site at http://geocities.com/sonbone1/licks.html

I think there are Brent Mason and Albert Lee style licks there...
