The Steel Guitar Forum

Here' how I learned it listening to Lloyd Green's version many years ago. It has been fun re-learning it again. I will make the tab available next week and the track too. I hope you enjoy it.

Regards.

Stellar performance David by both you
and the Sho-Bud!!!!!

RT

You made the Sho-Bud come alive great playing and the sound was great, again top shelf addition to what's already up there. Got to build a bigger shelf.ha ha
Keep them coming....

What they said; and yes I'll have a copy of this one too. Thank you my friend.

What can you say about this man that hasn't already been said. Every instrumental he plays is first class. He's a great ambassador for us Brits and the steel guitar fraternity worldwide. I'm proud to know him.

Kudos

IMO, David's contributions to the psg are astronomical. When I purchase David's "tabs", I learn how a lot of famous licks, and some of David's are done. This is some of the best money I've ever spent. Thank you David!

David did I read on the forum where
we can buy your tabs and tracks from somebody over here in the US?
if so I would be interested
thanks Mike

Mike, in case David doesn't read this right away, You can buy the Lifetime of Tracks DVD from Bill Stroud of BJS bars

Mike, as Bent said, Bill Stroud of BJS Bars does stock all of my CD's, Tabs and Tracks and other tuitional material. He does have more than what's showing on my website at the moment. He can be emailed at bjsbars@frontiernet.net. Today, I am adding the track and tab for Almost Persuaded to the www.davidhartleymusic.com website. Others are to follow very soon too. I know many of you have been waiting for tabs for some of my other instrumentals, so, at last, you will see them become available.

David Hartley.

I have now added the tab and track to the website here:-

Scroll down to the botton to see them.

Although I have spent many hours perparing this track and tab, all the credit must go to Lloyd Green. He was my main training aid when I first started and all I had was 33rpm records. It has been fun reminding myself of the way I used to learn by listening only. Doing the tabs also reminded me of some great sounding licks that I has forgotton about over the years. I hope that it helps some of you to have this tabbed to assist your playing or refresh your memory of licks forgotton. I have thoroughly enjoyed it, I hope you do too.

PS:- this is Lloyds tuning:-
# note LKL Ped1 Ped2 Ped3 LKR RKL RKR
1 F# __+G________________________________________
2 D# ________________________________-D/C#_______
3 G# _____________+A_____________________________
4 E ___________________+F#____+F________________
5 B _______+C#_________+C#______________________
6 G# _____________+A_____________________________
7 F# ____________________________________________
8 E __________________________+F___________-D#__
9 D ____________________________________________
10 B _______+C#__________________________________

If you dont have the F# to G raise on the 1st, a simple way around it is to tune your 1st to G for this song and on line 5 of page 4, just change the 3rd note played to a fret 14..... It will make sense when you see it. I know a lot of you dont raise 1 and/or 7 like I do..

thanks David ill check with Bill about your tabs and cds thanks to Bent also!!

thanks Mike great stuff!!

Hi Dave,
I can remember traveling to Nashville Tenn. quite a few years ago, as a delegate to our national church convocation And as we neared the crossover point between the states of Ohio, and Tenn., coming into the radio station`s range, we heard David Houston`s version of this song, and we were totally blown away by the steel player`s beautiful harmonic accompaniment of same, and having chills run up and down our back. My friend, your rendition, has had that same effect.
Keep up the good work, and keep bringing back the memories.

Why don't you come to Dallas in March 2011 to the TSGA Jamboree?

David.

Hey David,
Sorry that I`m just getting back to you. Things had just sort of bogged down around here.
Dave I would love to come to Dallas, but I`m afraid that my traveling days are pretty much done. The only traveling I do these days are from my residence in Michigan, to Toledo, Ohio for Del Grace`s "Sacred String Showcase", a distance of about fifty-five miles, once a year. Even then it is a little difficult because of my physical challenges. I am a double above knee amputee. I am not totally incapacitated, for I do walk with the aid of prosthetic legs, but there are other things such as twenty-four hour a day, seven days a week that I fight (the pain). But I still Pastor my church, and have a very active life in the ecclesiastical community in which I serve. And I play every sunday, at my church, along with my family on the "Steel". For me, playing on you tube, and so forth is my hobby, and therapy. I would never be a performance artist. But I`m having "Big Fun" I will however, be in there cheering for you, as you travel to Dallas! Be Blessed my dear friend!
Ron (Bishop Hall)

Thanks for the reply.
We will all have to come and see you in the Sacred String Show-Case then.
Looking forward to more videos from you,

Many Thanks
David

I thought I was listening to Lloyds original recording, it's amazing that Dave can not only get Lloyds notes and phrasing, which I find very difficult to do, but he also replicates the original tone

Hats off to Dave, he's excelled himself

Very nice, as always, David. That old "Bud" sure sounds sweet, but I imagine any guitar you play sounds pretty good...
Larry J.

Many thanks to you all.
If you haven't seen this tab yet, give it a try, you will learn something from it!

I think Angels is possibly next, this is what I have had many request for, so I will work on it this week.

Regards

Hello David, I've enjoyed listening to your version of that old Lloyd Dale Green song. I'm trying to duplicate your style. Danny Goble (pro111custom).
