Very cool little riff. Since I built a Tele a couple months ago I've been trying to learn stuff like this so I can improve my hybrid picking. I dove straight into Albert Lee's Country Boy...should have picked something easier. :LOL:
 
I love players like this and that style. I cannot do it, but it is inspiring to me on some levels. Killer
 
Not learning hybrid picking is my biggest guitar regret.
Not being born in Nashville might be #2.
 
This style, lambasted by many a rocker my age, teaches you so much about melody, harmony, and rhythm. It is the "western" bit of old C&W. A fair amount of pre-bop jazz.
 
Read a great story about Jeff Beck. He was recording in Nashville once during a Yardbirds tour and as he
was leaving the studio an old janitor asked him to check out his guitar. By the time he gave it back a few
minutes later Jeff was ready to quit. :ROFLMAO:

EDIT: My memory is going to shit. It was a Ritchie Blackmore interview.

Bc Uli kills and makes it look so effortless. NEVER seen anyone look like they were about to fall asleep while they playing like he does.
 
The Swamp Geetar dude has some humor behind his tasty licks.
Catfish needs him to lay it down.
