Yea, anybody?

How do you do that slurring type signature lick in the first verse, right after "I heard the bartender say" and then the lick right after "green snakes on the ceiling".

Anybody? I know somebody from Texas has got to be playing that song on the weekends and using those licks.

Yahoo.

Thank you Mr. Sexton. That looks like what the intro would sound like.

Got any idea of how that first signature sounding lick that slides back and forth on a fret and then ends up on what sounds like a pedals down position is done?
