Okay...
I get "overused," but if I'm playing in local bands and not working on original material, if I know some overused hot licks, people are just going to say, "he's pretty good." They're not going to say "he's using a Weldon Myrick lick that is 40 years old." That is... unless I'm playing it at a steel convention. I'd like to know every overused lick there is!  |

Johnathan Shacklock and Tony Prior's explanations are probably the best. This lick however or not overused can be broken down into so many lick that they are almost endless. You can make licks out of it that would just blow some of, your minds. Learn to work it up and down the neck forward and backwards
then play parts off it and work it vertically and horizontally and you'll be amazed what you can do with it and it works in any key. It is a great exercise for someone that is learning to play steel. Use it for a warmup exercise. The possibilities are endless if you have an imagination. |

A good way to slip this by unrecognized is to play it in the key G over a Southern Rock song that is in the Key of A.

Weldon surprised a lot of steel players when he released the lick in a turn around on Tommy Overstreets "if love was a bottle of wine". After that, so many steelers wanted to learn the lick, he did the little course.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WaupXofDSxs
The lick is at 1.50
Smiley Roberts was playing for Overstreet at that time and when he heard the cut, he said how in the heck am I suppose to play that. He then went to Weldon back stage at the Opry and had him show him how. |

That's what I thought, then I was wondering about the pedals.......but I see the "2" beneath the tab must be the "B" pedal, etc. |

| The great BE-E9 course (which should be titled "E9 101"), also published by the Emmons Company, used the same weird nomencalature. |

"a" & "b" are fingers 1 & 2. "t" is thumb. The "2" on the bottom is pedal B. All of the Emmons tab from the 1970's is like that.
I play the pattern in my song "Powerglide". Video ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kcmd6ZJTrQo
The pattern works well over the relative chord changes... 1, 2m, 3m, 4, 5, 6m, 7dim. I don't remember the changes in Powerglide, but do remember that I included the diminished and 3m chord.

Jim, the point of using this series of licks is that the chords don't matter much at all when you play it. As Doug said above.
It's fast moving, and as long as you start in the right place, depending on the song key, it will work. It's "amazing" |
