Oh, [N]
Eddie Rivers here, Sleep the Wheel.
Glad to be on Western Swing Rules, it really does to Western [G#] Swing is that.
We're going to go through a thing [F#] here.
It's a simple thing [N] and it's the most useful lick that there could possibly be for the steel guitar.
A lot of guys might know this, but if you're [G#m] playing in the key of E, here's an E, [E]
everything
[G#] [N] between this and two frets down will work.
[B] [G#] [F#]
[D#] Seems pretty [Gm] basic, but if you're trying to figure out any lick that's done this in A6
tuning, straight A6, it's like a C6, but in [F] A, I think it gets a little [F#] meatier, so [A] anything
between these two frets [G#] will work.
We're going to do it in the key of E, and I'm going to do everything between those two
frets [A] for each [E] chord.
There's an A, [N] E, A.
[C#m]
[F#m]
[C#m] [B] [Dm]
[C#] [D]
[G#m] [Em] [D#] [D]
[A#]
[E] See, what's [N] happening here is everything I'm doing is around that lick.
It's not even [G] a lick.
You can put any configuration between these [Gm] two frets and it's going to work.
And if you're trying to figure out [A] a lick that was done in the, say, 40s or [D] 50s, which
is the real heyday, and personally I think it still [G] should be, but that's me.
For western swing music and non-pedal steel guitar, you'll probably find it looking there,
you know, like Texas [D#] Playboy Ray.
[E]
[A#] [E] See what I mean?
[B] [F#m] Hey, [D#m] [D#]
[F#] [D#m]
[G#m] [A] there [A#] you go again.
Me?
[B] [G#m] [Cm]
[C#m] [F#] [N]
Classic, classic.
Endings, [C]
[C#] same thing.
[G] Between these two frets, [F#] that's where it's at.
[F]
You can play whole songs that way.
[C] [D]
[F]
[Gm] [G#m]
[Am] [G#m] [Gm]
[D#] [E] [F]
Any string configuration too.
That's the thing to do.
You mess around with it and find out what it is.
Like Herbie [E] Remington used to do this [Bm] thing.
[D]
[Em] [C#m]
[Bm]
[Am]
It's all in that basic rule.
[E] Just hunt around in there and you're going to find it.
Here it is.
[Bm]
[E] [G]
[D] [C#m]
[G#] [Em] [F#m]
[Em] [E] [Bm]
[D]
[E] So, it's not to get confused on it, it's [F] just that's pretty much the long and the short of it.
Between these two frets, hunt around in there.
If you're looking for a lick, you're probably going to find it under that rule.
[C]
[D]
[F#] [G] [D#m]
[Dm] [D]
[G#] [F#m]
[Cm] [Bm]
[Dm]
So try that, mess around with it, and you'd be amazed what you find.
It'll, [F] just keep in mind, keep it within these two frets, [F#m] everything in there, [G] in one way
or another, will work.
[F] So that's one of the main keys that I've found over the years and it's the most useful [D#] lick there is.
So, good luck with it and thanks for listening to me.
Eddie Rivers here and we got a new [G] CD coming out by the way.
Just got to throw a plug in here.
Eddie Rivers, Plain Talking Man it's called.
You can get that pretty soon.
It'll be available on the Sleep The Wheel website. SleepTheWheel.com.
There's more records, so [Gm] check it out, won't you?
You'll see this lick in there a lot of times.
Thanks for listening to me.
Eddie Rivers here.
So long.
