Second Lick of Phrase 5 of 'I Want to Sing That Rock & Roll'

We're going to finish up work on the fifth phrase of David Rawlings guitar solo from Gillian Welch's I Want to Sing that Rock & Roll, so the phrase sounds like this. (playing guitar) The first lick of that of phrase which we already did sounded like this (playing) now the second lick which I think is the real nugget, the real Jim from the solo is this pentatonic run. (playing) Now this is a G sharp or an A flat minor pentatonic in an usually position instead of playing this (playing) he's playing this. (playing) So the lick is not exactly the direct run down the pentatonic but it's a nice pentatonic oriented lick. So it's (playing) one more time slowly, fourth fret ring finger open open.
