Reminds me a bit of the intro to Pagan Baby by Creedence. Was it a dissection of that?
Great lick – can be used very well with straight up rock, works well with using chunks of it, and just difficult enough to teach my fingers something new. I’ll be messing w/ this one all day.
I’ve always had trouble coming up with anything worthwhile in position 1. Thanks for opening my eyes a little more to the potential of that boring little box. :)

Thanks for the comment Terry… No wasn’t pulled from anything specific, but elements of it are certainly used all the time!
