Thanks for posting this up JP. I've tried playing that lick to Hod Rod Lincoln many times without any real success...especially at a fast tempo.  I can do ok in the E and A positions but it's difficult for me was when it moves to the B position, without any open strings involved. That was cool how they incorporated the various artist's classic licks into their performance. These guys are real talented Tele Players !

Nice post JP.

I love my Telecaster but sadly I struggle to play it these days. Arthritis in my fingers means the fretboard is too narrow for me and I can't really play a C chord shape any more. May have to sell her.....

I keep hearing stories lately about musicians who retire because or arthritis, or other physical limitations from the onset of age. Gives me a sense of urgency to get more music out while my body will still cooperate. That goes for you too, Nigel.

I do have other things I can still play. I downsized to a short scale bass about 5 years ago and also have a Jagmaster, which has a short scale neck and nice wide fretboard. But old age is a pain.
