STORMS NEVER LAST
Tabs by David J. Stewart | March 2016
LLOYD GREEN MASTERPIECE TABS COLLECTION
(As played by Lloyd Green - Super Jam 1995, St. Louis - Here's the Here's the MP3 recording)
Lloyd Green uses a standard E9th setup. The only exception is that he doesn't lower string 4 a half tone. Instead he uses string 2. I designate lowering string 2 with either "LL" for a whole tone drop, or "L" for a half tone drop. I've done my best to tab out Lloyd's beautiful playing. The only part that I had difficulty with was the very ending. Lloyd has not confirmed these tabs, but I feel confident they are pretty accurate. Enjoy! The following tabs begin at 3:04 in the MP3 audio...

I'm an avid Lloyd Green fan and want to do what I can to
help new steelers learn quickly.
These tabs are invaluable. If you'd like to learn Lloyd
Green's music style, then the most important
thing to do is start listening to lots of Lloyd's
Performances.
Get the sounds into your brain.
As time progresses, you'll
discover the sounds on your steel guitar. You can't play it
if you
haven't heard it. Become familiar with the sounds. Like
anything else in life, the more time
that you spend with something, the more you will get out of
it. My advice is to crank up your amplifier's volume so you
can FEEL your music. That's very important to developing
great tone. The best playing in the world is totally useless
if the tone is not there. Hopefully, these tabs will help
you by opening your perspective to new things on the steel
guitar. The possibilities are only limited by your mind and
desire to learn more.
Also, I use a great program called
MixCraft
regularly to change the pitch in songs (so I can play in
tune with the song), slow down riffs that I want to learn to
play, or my own steel guitar recordings, et cetera. It's
well worth the $89 for the basic version.
God bless!
