Hey, thanks Greg! Can’t wait to try this out. That must have taken a fair amount of time to figure out. Appreciate your effort.

[Greg Cutshaw]

Thanks Dennis! This is is a great general purpose fill and after a few days of practice on E9th it will no longer be awkward to play.

[Dale Rottacker]

Thats a good one Greg, thank you

[Steve Mueller]

Nice work Greg!

Here's a little bit of Roly Poly using the riff above. I recorded this using a new Dunlop pot in my Goodrich L120 pedal.

Hear Roly Poly demo!

Another example showing how this fits into a song from my home studio. One variation is at 2:25 using the crossover picking technique and a more simple version is at 2:32 in this Roger Miller penned Half A Mind:
