There’s a Hal Rugg lick rattling around in my head that I’ve always loved and wanted to learn and I have the perfect place to use it or some variation on a Loretta Lynn song I’m recording steel for. As you might expect it uses the chromatic strings, descending and then ascending. Anybody know the one I mean? And which recording it’s on? Sorry if I’m being too vague but I bet one of you swell guys knows just what I’m talking about! Smile

Wow there’s a ton of great stuff there but not the exact lick. It might not be on a Loretta record but it’s definitely Hal. Just going from memory I believe it starts with a single string on the b7th note, sliding down a half, then two strings (might be 2 and3?) then a similar phrase going up.

hard to answer without a more specific example but Hal was such a genius. those Loretta Lynn records are just brimming with exciting and inventive stuff, executed with such mastery.

might this intro be what you're referring to?
You Wanna Gimme A Lift

here's a few more of my favorites:

Deep As Your Pocket

Don't Come Home a-Drinkin

You Didn't Like My Lovin

What Kind Of A Girl

One's On The Way

The triplet run in the intro of One’s On The Way is a timeless Hal Rugg signature lick.
