I could have just as easily could have ripped away at the blues licks on this thing, but it's always interesting to work on new stuff. Quite a few of the licks in it were a direct result of that.


Ha yeah if you listen to Lady Writer by Dire Straits, you'll notice the main progression is pretty much exactly what I did for the BT. Feel free to steal some Knopfler licks from it, I know I will be! Actually I think I prefer the term 'paraphrasing' rather than stealing ;)
