Thanks Mo! The intro to Crosscut Saw is one of my all time favorite single chorus' of blues guitar. There might be two more "lick of the weeks" to do the rest :tongue:
 
I ran through this last night. Albert's playing is so basic, but so tasty! There is a reason his stuff gets borrowed a lot...

Lots of perfect mini melodies. Just be sure to play it in time and in the pocket and it beautiful. :)

I was thinking the exact same thing! Well, I thought that there are a TON of ideas and licks that can be pulled out of that phrase.

Thank you thank you thank you.
 
You've heard of the 3 Kings--B.B., Albert and Freddie? Here's the two Alberts--King and Brooks.

The first few notes of Crosscut Saw is true Signature. You hear it and you just know that song is coming.
