Bullet Man, Picky Ricky

[AlanN]

Re-visiting this number, off Rice's California Autumn (1975). With the help of Niles' tabbed transcription, the lines in this tune are relatively simple arpeggio-based things, but to get the feel and bop of Ricky, well...ain't so simple.

Love me some Skaggs from back in the day.

Totally agree, Alan...that's a good 'un. I've been working on Amanda Jewell (which is from a later "back in the day"). The notes themselves and the speed aren't necessarily that difficult, but getting his rhythm and musicality at that speed, well, that's why no one pays to hear me play
