Thanks Lee, you are too kind!  This was taught by John Miller a couple of years back at PT - so much gratitude and credit to him for picking these great tunes to teach.

This is an easy one, especially for someone at your level - so I'll be brief. :) The signature lick is of course the whole thing.  It's in E standard.  The Sig lick is a two finger E chord so you can use your ring finger to fret the 2nd string at the 2nd fret.  The G string (3rd) is always played with the thumb.  I'm betting you can get the pattern from that brief description, but lemme know if that does not get it and I'll break it down further.

Next chord is an A6 I believe, fret top 4 strings at second fret, right hand is a roll 5th string, 1st, 2nd, 4th, repeat.

The descending part is 1st and 3rd strings at 7th fret, then 2nd string/5th fret and 3rd string 6th fret, then a bar across 5 strings at the 4th fret, move it down 2 frets, signature lick and you got it.

Cheers,
slack
