Good Luck and Keep PIckin'

Hey Sonny2,
I even play the steel intro on the tele, then you have the chicken pickin' on the guitar in the last part. James Burton recorded that with Merle, and he's chicken pickin' prebends.

I recently put up 2 tutorials on this, the first one is how to do it. The other one is using it in licks, and here are the links to those.

Prebending Strings : Using This Trick In Licks

One other hint, Burton starts by bending the second string a whole step in the 12th fret. He also dropped the low E string to a low D, and this is referred to as dropped D tuning. It's a great lick, and it's not as hard to do as it sounds.
