Jim, here's a short phrase using a foward roll(Thumb,index,middle). Starting with the index finger, in the key of G. You can use this same type of thing in other G positions, like the 6th fret with the F lever and A pedal.

10._________________________________________

Ricky,

I assume that the second "5a on the 5th string" begins the next roll. Right?

Thanks everyone for your input. Ricky is there a roll you use on strings 3-4-5 or 4-5-6 That you use just as a backup bluegrass
roll (Not nessesarily a lick) just a rythem type roll???

Thanks again

Ok just thought of another fast roll type thing me and Redd Volkaert do in harmony throughout the progression of a 1;4;1;5;1 solo. So I'll show you my part over the 1 chord and show you the Guitar part(but played on Steel) and you can have your guitar player learn it..ha..it's easy.
-------------------------------------
My part: (G)3rd fret;and then go to (C)8th fret and do the
same thing; than back to 3rd fret and than up to
(D)10th fret..>same pattern on all frets.
(2nd string L 1/2 tone)

1.________________________________________
2._____3L____3L________3L____3L_________3L
3.________________________________________
4.________________________________________
5._3~3a___3a____3a~3~3a___3a____3a~3~3a___
6.________________________________________


Harmony part:
1.___________________________________
2.___________________________________
3.______6____6________6___6_________6
4.___________________________________
5._6~6a___6a___6a~6~6a__6a__6a~6~6a__
6.___________________________________

----------------------------------------
So that second harmony part is 3 frets up from the first
harmony part; so that second harmony part is at the
6th fret
than 11th fret than back to 6th fret than 13th fret.
Have fun.
Ricky
