Chicken Scratch....a guitar lick made famous by Jimmy Nolen who went on to play in James Brown's band.

You hear a lot of chicken scratch in 'Papa's Got A Brand New Bag'

One of Nolen's  first examples are on this J. Otis record. You will recognize the 'chicken scratch' once you hear it.

Trying to help me dad do the backyard mechanic thing...he ask for a tool and I give him the wrong one...

 

"Ah ya Nonga...not that thingy the other thingy, you know" this is accompanied by a vague waving of his fingers behind his back.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
