I've been trying to play the lick I hear on Paul Oscher's version of Sugar Mama (from Down in the Delta, 1:58-2:03) - but not only on the album - it sounds like a pretty common lick. I know it's based around a repeated pattern on the 4' 4 5 holes but I can't figure out the rhythm at all. Any advice on how to play this?
