Speaking of copying breaks, here's one entire thing that I'd like to mimic note for note, if I was only able. It's the hidden track on Doc Watson and Merle's "Home Sweet Home" (I think that's the name of the record--the one where it's Merle on banjo after just a couple of months learning it). Marty Stuart does some killer blues mando on this tune and Sam Bush backs him on fiddle. Man, some nice blues licks there! I'm having a heckuva time figuring it out, though.
When's Marty S. going to put out an instructional video? He's one of the most underrated ones out there. Every time I see him play that old thing he tears it up.
