Looking for that downward lick Earl plays in his first break.

I love this lick. It's surprisingly simple. It's just "half" of your closed A chord at the 7th fret. Lift up your 1st and 4th fingers and slide into the remaining C# and A on the 3rd and 1st strings. Then slide down two frets to G and play the same thing, then slide into "half" of a 1st inversion D chord at the 4th fret, then the same at C and end it with an open D string. This is all capo 2, of course. Hope that makes sense...
