And yet another cool PG-lick...

As you can see I am in PG / Mr. Big-mode today.
This is one of my favorite PG-licks, the beautiful intro of the ballad "Just Take My Heart" ( from "Lean Into It" )
Man, it seems like yesterday that I heard it on the radio the first time... 1992 I think...
Anyway, the low E-string has to be tuned up to F.
What I really like is the "pedal steel-style" run in the first 2 measures ( where you let the open string ring while you fret and play the next note on the next string... similar to the "pedal steel technique" that Jon FInn wrote about for Guitar4U ), and the n.h.-run at the end...
All this should be played on a clean electric or acoustic guitar... check out the original recording...

Hope you guys are enjoying those excerpts
