Couldn't help myself- here's another lick this time in E7ish. Starts out with a maj chromatic line using alt/economy picking into a 5 note descending sweep then into 2 dominant 7th ascending sweeps and returning with a hammer on pull off idea and finishing with a chicken picked minor to maj 3rd double stop bend with a triple pike! #stratocaster #strat #mesaboogie #cleansweeping #countryish #hybridpicking #sweeps #sweeppicking #toomanynotes #toomuchpractice #beneatonmusic (at East Finchley)

U/S Bahn

Kicking at the floor with the thickened rubber at your toes. You would pace if you thought you could get away with it. I look at my feet too, between my knees, the metal grille chair pushing puckers into the backs of my thighs. Your train will come first, the signs say, in 6min, a plastic yellow glow against the black background. 9min for me. Dazed. I would have thought we should have something to say to each other. But then I thought what we did should have felt more, more of something. Intimate, yeah, that's the word. My head hangs and you don't lift it. The air pushes ahead of the train and we fumble for each other's hands. Warm still, your fingers. You stand at the doorway as it slides past you shut. Make a "Call You" sign and then you slide away. If my train had come first you would have made me get on it. You are curving smaller, out of reach, into the dark. You are on the circle line. How long will I have to wait for you to come around again?
