Heres a chromatic lick I learned a few years ago from Jeff Newman. Jeff calls it THE KILLER

of which it is. Play this lick slow & they will throw you out of the band

but play it up tempo & they will bragg about you all night

You must hear this lick in your head before you try it. Do it very slow at first & then speed it up when you have it down. Keep the A&B pedals down all through the lick.

Example: Key of F

I love that lick of Buddy's from "Honkytonkitus". I wouldn't reproduce it here though, as he has it tabbed out in his "Intros and Turnarounds" (the first one).
Great chromaticism for raising eyebrows. Now, if I could just get to play it smoothly..

Buddy Cage has gotten a lot of mileage out of several variations of that lick, both ascending and descending. Listen to the New Riders arrangement of "Hello Mary Lou" (on the "Panama Red" album as I recall) -- 'course he played it like a bat out of hell and clean as a whistle.

It's one of those fun licks that makes you feel like you're on the edge of a cliff and then you resolve it at the last minute.

Thanks for the info on Buddy Cage. "Hello Mary Lou" is one of my goals in life and I have never even been able to come close to figuring out what he is doing.

I got a peddle steel because of Buddy Cage, Bobbie Black and Ralph Moonie. Buddy used to "steel" the show with the NRPs.
