Rockabilly licks

Dord

Anyone got any good ones?

Just looking for something to mess around with. Having trouble coming up with anything vaguely rockabilly sounding myself.

The mixolydian scale is your friend.

Alot of the early 'Billy players such as Cliff Gallup of Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps fame had serious jazz chops, and you can hear this bleeding into their leads. I've copped most of my rockabilly licks from stealing bits here and there from jazz players like Charlie Christian.

Also, check out Brian Setzer and hold on to your hat.

Thanks, I'll have a look at some of their stuff.
