Can anybody give me a tab for the chromatic run Bobby Black plays on the live version of Hot Rod Lincoln? If you've heard that version of the song you know the lick I'm talking about. (Commander Cody, of course.) Thanks!

I don't know if it's on the recent live recording. Perhaps that's a reissue of the older one? The older album is an all-live album.

I thought I remembered some of those killer BB licks... but last week I had the supreme pleasure of sitting in with Cody for a set at the Live Oak Music festival and couldn't recall any of 'em... just had to use my own tired noises. They seemed to like it though, and I was on cloud nine. CC is still slammin' after all these years.

And I hope Cody keeps that now frail body flailing for many years to come.

Eric, Sorry I am so late to this topic. The album you are refering to is a MUST HAVE for everyone. It is called "We Have a Live One Here". It is a two LP collection and one song is as good as the next. Bobby plays his butt off and gives the CC&LPAM a big big sound. Although I never worked on that solo I did talk with Bobby about it. It was done on the C6 and if I remember correctly the chromatic run is found by mashing the A pedal which raises the fourth string A to a B and picking that with the third string C and moving up the neck the same way we do on the E9 with strings 2 and 4.
While we are on the subject of this album he showed me the chromatic run he did as the opening to his solo on "Semi-Truck": On the E9 press pedal 3 and the knee which pulls string 1 F# to G and pick string 4 then 1 then 3 and repeat every four frets. You get a fast and dymamic lick eg. from fret one G-G#-A, to fret four A#-B-C etc. Let me know what you think. John
