Let me know. I'm just going out, so I'll be away for an hour or so,

Regarding the techniques needed to play the song, I expect Levi Clay ( @missmisstreater ) would be an expert on this, based on his excellent book which I recently purchased.

@axisus Laura's a bit off the Paisley pace there, I can pretty much do it at that tempo ... nice version though
I've not tried Nervous Breakdown but having played similar things on Tele and Dobro I know that the only way I could get anywhere near Brad's picking speed is using thumbpick and first two fingers. I'm in awe of players who achieve that using hybrid picking. When I try doing it that way I feel like my picking fingers are in a straightjacket. But then I've always used thumbpick and fingers since my teenage years. Each technique has its pros and cons I guess.
@Danny1969 if you manage to play it at that speed using hybrid picking I take my hat off to you
I think the "slower" version sounds better.
Why do you want to play it at the original speed*, are you expecting a duel with Brad?
Does he use a really low action?
*I know stupid question.

Laura Cox's version is without the B ( G?) bender as well. I'd say she's using pick plus two fingers which is the style people like Gregg Koch and Jerry Donahue use.
She is slower than Brad but I have heard him doing it very fast rather like an exhibition piece and it wasn't that tidy ( in fairness he was running up and down the front of a stage as he did it !)
You may want to checkout Jerry's Breakdown by Jerry Reid .......Brad's tune is a homage / parody of that and steals from it
