The Steel Guitar Forum

When I started playing guitar (on real gigs) I had 3-4 licks that I "wore out". Man, I made those licks fit anything,,,and they got me by until I could acculmulate some more. I'm sure there are PSG players out there that can relate to this. I'd like to see (and I'm sure others would) those licks that you wore out,,,the ones you made fit anything,,,the ones that saved your bacon !! Com'on guys,,,what were the licks that got you by until,,,,,,,,

Hang on there. I'm posting one tomorrow. Like TELE this will be my first TAB. I'll troubleshoot it first and then post it. I've got it down on Notepad. Just give this ol' picker a little time. Regards....Fred

Here's an old I to IV that fits a lot of places.

Press B & C pedal at the same time.

Bill you stole my "getting lost" lick, note for note pal.
That's beautiful and there is a very good reason behind that lick>when getting lost.
Ricky

Yeah Ricky, guilty, I admit it.... See, all those one-on-one sessions are startin' to pay off Some 'famous' D-FW player once told me you'll get a lot of gigs if you know when to shut up.

If I gotta play something, I always end up on the AB pedal combo stuff.

I like the tab, too, Bill. Perhaps the Miles Davis approach. However, I'm going to be careful here - last time I commented on the tab for the One Note Samba, there was a big hoopla!

Bill, I'm new to PSG, but I've used that exact lick on standard guitar for years, for the exact same reasons.

Is it originally a PSG lick? You rarely hear 6-stringers attempt it, and I've sure never heard it on a banjo!

-Joel

Hey Steve, I think I jumped in on that 'One Note Samba' thing too... oops.

Joel, I'm not sure about it being a PSG lick originally, but the guitar player in the last band I worked with sure didn't know it...

I was fooling around with Fred's lick and found it makes a pretty good ending for a pedals down chord. After you release the A pedal on string 5, play string 6, then string 5 again with the pedal down, then strings 3-4-5 with bothe A&B pedals down

Hi Tim

Thanks for noticing. This is what it's all about. This type of thing makes for a wonderful jam session. I'm just an ol' country picker who has lots of licks in my head and thanks to this forum, I know how to tab, so I'll be on here with more stuff as long as there is someone interested. If I can help you please "holler"

Regards.....Fred

Hey Fred,,,you got it right,,,if we can share what got us by,,,it's bound to help someone coming up same road ,,,,let's keep'em comin',,,,,,,

That one brings a tear to my eye!. It's a classic.

Note to Bengt:

No wonder you are a pro!

Play over a C-Major chord( only if you transpose the tabulature 2 frets down)
The example should be played over a D-major-chord)
[/tab]

Bengt:
Is this a phrase to take you from your root chord to the relative off-chord? In this case C to D.

The whole thing should actually be played over a D chord. My mistake.

Bengt

Here's a few everyday endings to play with. This tab stuff is getting to be fun. I've truly amazed myself. Later.....Fred

OK let's try that again!
