You should put your own signature on the G Run. That's how the big dogs are identified when they put their own spin on this essential part of the country guitar vocabulary.
Just to show you how I do that, we'll learn one of my signature variations on this run. It's a difficult challenge, but just like all the great pickers out there, I don't want my "signature" forged that easily. Have fun with this one and have fun creating your own.
