Or phrase or break that just kocks your socks off?
Buddy on "Some Day Soon" does it for me.

After all these years, it might still be "Kind Woman" by Rusty Young, with Buffalo Springfield. Or Buddy on John Sebastian's "Rainbows All Over Your Blues". Then maybe John Hughey's "Lost in the Feeling"

John Hughey on "Take This Memory With You" ( I think is the title). John "fell" into a 7th chord followed by a little differently voiced 7th chord leading into the 4 chord which really caught my attention. That is the one that first came to mind when I read the question. Then there was Tom Brumley on "Sang Dixie" with that neat drop into a nice 7th chord. I never realized until now that I apparently like 7th chords particularly when it is played with the chord a half tone sharp then dropped into the chord. These are licks that I really like. As far a a solo, I sure get a lot of inspiration out of Paul Franklin doing that famous solo with Dire Straits.

| Of course there's more than one (!). Two Lloyd Green moments came to mind off the bat: his first phrase, over the 4 and 5, in his solo on "Six Days On the Road" on Charley Pride In Person (Panther Hall), and his outro solo on "Nothing Can Hurt You" on Ricky Skaggs's Highways and Heartaches. |

| Well dang, Pete. I've been a big fan of PPL for a long time, but I have never heard that live version or that intro. Thanks. Was that John David Call? |

Oh Man, You have to get PPL’s 1977 Live – Takin’ the Stage. ...considered by many to be the quintessential live concert album.
That is JDC on Steel.
Here's a page with a PPL radio station:

Go to the "Previous Releases" radio, and fast forward to I'll Fix Your Flat Tire Merle, and all those other great tunes with kick arse Steel.

| Ricky Skaggs, Highways & Heartaches album did it for me too. Just about every lick and solo whether played by Lloyd or Bruce fired my imagination and started me on my steel guitar journey. |

"Rainbows" top to bottom.
"Rainy Day Woman" top to bottom.
"Bad Weather" top to bottom.
I know, I'm cheating....there are too many. But "Rainbows" kills me everytime. |

Moon's stuff on Buck Owens' "Under Your Spell Again" is the most exciting perfomance for me.

| Well not exactly a lick but a whole solo. Paul Franklin's solo in Keith Whitley's I'm No Stranger to the Rain. Actually the version he did for the Whitley tribute album whereby Matt Rolins doubled him on piano blows me a way every time. |

I never tire of this topic. I have to say Greg Leisz' solo on Bill Frisell's song from "Good Dog, Happy Man", "The Pioneers" is one of the few breaks I learned and have committed to memory.
Also it's only about eight notes, but the theme Bruce Kaphan plays at the end of the Red House Painter's song "Have You Forgotten" - the reason I took up the PSG.
Paul's break in the "Walk of Life".
And yeah man, Buddy's solo in "Someday Soon." |

"Is there one lick..."
Only getting to pick one is tough.
But if I had to pick only one, it would be the Pete Drake solo in George Harrison's song, "I Live For You".
That's the solo that inspired me to learn how to play pedal steel guitar.

Linda Ronstadt's version of Blue Bayou did it for me. The steel break starts at about 2:56

Every lick & phrase in Mcbride & the Rides Trick rider as played by Joe Rogers. And everything Lloyd Maines played in Amarillo Highway.

Yes, Larry.....it was the break you took in the second to the last song of the 3rd set on March 25 1983.
BTW, did you use the "F" lever or a bar slant? |

| Curly Chalker's breathtaking ride on Charlie McCoy's "Danny Boy." I've listened to it a million times over the last 30+ years and I hear something new almost every time. |

Four such come to mind instantly for me:
1) Rainbows All Over your Blues - Buddy Emmons pretty much reviews the entire musical universe in one comprehensive, well-crafted ride. Still a source of inspiration and content for me forty years later.
2) How Long - Paul Franklin gives me goosebumps every time I listen to his PedalBro solo break; so much so that I sampled the second four bars of it for a telephone ringtone (do I owe you any money for that, Paul?).
3) Unnamed Shuffle/A Love Like This - Lloyd Green masquerading as "Alma McCoy" on the "Operation Russless" spoof CD of a few years back. This is my current Mecca for heart-stopping tone and mind-melting passing chords on the E9 guitar, my big thanks to all responsible for getting this little gem out into the world!
4) Whatever JayDee is playing...'nuff said.... |

| Two stand out for me, Buddy on Touch my Heart and Pete Drake on Stand By your Man. I had a Fender single neck steel one month after hearing Touch my Heart. Pete got my attention and when I found out what was making that sound, Buddy pushed me over the edge |
