He's all over this old Glen Campbell track but there's a pattern he was fond of playing back in the '70s that always caught my ear.

It's right at the 2'25" mark (over the 4 chord); I can't find it. Any clues?

Just a quick start for your search. Try 10th fret, 2nd string lowered 1/2 step. Play: thumb on 5th string, play 5th string, then grab strings 3 and 4 together, then 5th string again, then strings 2 and 3 together, then strings 3 and 4 together. Keep repeating. Incorporate muting. Without dissecting all of the movements, this will put you in the ballpark. It sounds like the steel mix is a a little weak and hard to distinguish where he's going after that?

That looks right, Dennis - thanks!

It's just that little chromatic spot that had me guessing. Much appreciated.
