Location: Boise, Idaho | Hey, Johnny,
Is the intro to Sister Golden Hair on a 12 string. I threw away all my America albums after I started listening to the lyrics. Actually, my wife got rid of all our albums and I never replaced America with CDs.
I need an excuse to play my 12 string and that might be a good one. |

OK, I'll do two. The guitar break in "Guitar Man" by Jerry Reed. And more recently, the opening lick to "Let Us Pray" by Steven Curtis Chapman. Simple, but effective.

-Mark, if I say 'yes' will you just go ahead and play that guitar?!
"I threw away all my America albums after I started listening to the lyrics"
-Their lyrics are very bizzarre. I find it funny when people say they love 'Horse with no Name' and start singing along with it, but stop singing about 3 or 4 lines into the first verse. They don't know the words past that, and are pretty much done with the song by then. Guitar-wise, I think the whole thing is 2 chords...more or less. |

Location: closely held secret | Not annoying at all, Cliff. Just noticed that it's your 'test riff'. And we 'tested' a lot of guitars!
I have one I find I play almost every time I'm trying a guitar. |

And I find nothing wrong with testing guitars with "From the Beginning". Can someone send me a tab on the little run before the electric guitar solo. |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | My favorite acoustic lick is a favorite because of the memories attached. Doc Watson had an appearance at San Diego State that I and some of my pickin' buddies went to see. He did a great version of "Tennesee Stud" that impressed us all. A few days later I, with my mandolin, and Steve, a great guitar player, found ourselves on a city bus going somewhere with our instruments. (I think we were looking for a party that Steve had been invited to, the whole thing is rather foggy). Anyhow, we spent an hour on that bus perfecting "Tennesee Stud" with the Doc Watson licks (same as Jimmy Driftwood's only squared in difficulty). It froze in my mind and I have played it hundreds of times since with various other pickers. It is still a great favorite of mind, both the song and the licks.
Long about 1845
I left Tennesee very much alive
I couldn't have forded that Arkansas flood
If I hadn't been riding that Tennesee Stud
The Tennesee Stud was long and lean
The color of the sun, and his eyes were green
He had the heart and he had the blood
There never was a horse like the Tennesee Stud
(Insert lick here if you know it) |
