_ 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.
