This lick would be played over a V(G) chord and leads back to the I(C) chord. This phrasing is in 3/4 time. This lick when played properly will turn heads but also can be very dangerous if it is used in a not-so-appropriate place. In other words, be choosy about where you put this one. Let all of the beginning notes ring while you slide the bar down to the next fret, so the pitch of the ringing notes will drop as you slide back.
This lick was shown to me by a great steel player here in Iowa. His name is Dale Thomas and he told me it was kind of a variation of one of Buddy's licks.

This is Lick Number Two on my site. The licks are uploaded as WAV files so be patient while they load. I have tried to make them as small as possible and still maintain sound integrity.
