Hey Folks,
I might be close to wrapping up my Dan Hicks kick (But no promises...), and I had to mess around with O'Reilly At The Bar. This is another great tune from Striking It Rich and I am sure some of you will get a lot of of taking a look at it.

O'Reilly At the Bar is just one of dozens of light-hearted, offbeat songs from the brilliant mind of Dan Hicks. The tune is from his 3rd album, Striking It Rich, which should be in everyone's music library. The song only uses two different chord shapes and the progression should be obvious once you have the chords under your belt.
The lesson includes a detailed look at a percussive comping technique that is really useful for all guitar players, especially those without nearby rhythm sections.
