I first learned about chicken picken about a year ago and just want to thank you for these awesome licks. I will agree, the RHYTHM of how you play chicken picken is priceless and unless someone explains the "bop, da dop, dop, whatever" it's heard to really play it right. thanks for posting this!!!!!!!!!!!!
