Thanks Chris and Scott. Great stuff. More fuel for me to keep learning as a new PSG player.

That's some good stuff. I don't know very many players that can do that. I know I sure can't. Those licks seem to have gotten lost in the recent (30)years by the Nashville crowd. I guess the newer music don't have a place for it.
