I seem to have a mental block as I can not remember how I used to play the riff in the song "Cab Driver" The riff is used throughout the song. Can someone show me how they play the "Cab Driver" riff on the E9th neck?

Is this the version that Jim Murphy played on the Mills Brothers tribute album?

Greg, I have not heard Jim Murphy's Mills Brother's Tribute. Greg, it is the signature riff in the Cab Driver song. As I remember it was much easier for me to play on the C6th neck than it was on the E9th neck. Problem now is I don't remember how to play it on either neck. Greg, is that a sign of old age?

Great playing by Jim Murphy, but not exactly as I remember it from the Mills Brothers, or the way I used to play the riff.
