"The White Light"

Like most people here I just love anything by Lloyd Green and I was delighted to find a new recording by him here on the Forum.

I just had to give it a go, so here is my version, no Pedals, or Knee Levers and a few strings less.
Hope you like it. Played on my 1964 Tiesco R1

James

I really enjoyed both the video production and the guitar playing.

The picture at the start of the guitar with the Vox amp really stood out for me as well.

can you share the tuning you used for this song?

Michael,
Thank you for your interest, the tuning I used here was E7th, for a long time I used C6th which is fine for a number of things including Hawaiian which I play a lot, but recently I have been recording music played by a Pedal Steel, so to get on the same fret as them I use the E7th tuning and get the Pedal sounds using slants.

Lo - Hi D-E-G#-B-E-G#
34-30-24-18-14-11
If using an 8 string add a G#-B on the bottom 46-38.

You may notice my top 4 strings are the same as the Pedal Steel E9th so anyone familiar with the E9th tuning will know where things can be found on this.

Hope this helps, if in doubt just ask.

James.
