The Steel Guitar Forum

Been figuring out one of the great historical solos/outro. Mr.Greens/Ricky Skaggs recording of "No one can hurt you". His nuances and emotional note choices are exploding my brain. His timing/pedal work,vol. and guitar pedals simply stuns me! True Master of this machine! His playing is straight from the heart.
https://youtu.be/oudZXR1eKMk outro is around 3:30.

Joe Thanks for sharing that gem..Very Inspiring.

This is a really great outro. I've been working on this too, there's so much stuff in there to dig into.

You're welcome Charlie!

Hi James. Yeah,Mr. Lloyd has a great musical mind for sure! He gets sooo much from that LDG!!

I agree, but I'm sure Lloyd just went in a played it first take I bet, not even thinking about it.

I thought I had heard all this Highways and Heartaches but apparently I have not as I don't recall hearing this tune and I surely would have. Great tune and Ricky's vocal is just suberb. The arrangement with Lloyd's solo outro is just perfect and one of the unusual events where they let this happen.

No one plays with more feeling than Lloyd Green. His playing can bring a tear to a glass eye as in this example. Anyone that is not moved by his playing is dead inside. Of course, he can burn it up too.

It's no wonder that so many have tried to follow his path. One of the few true icons and pioneers of pedal steel guitar.

Thanks for posting this Joe.

Ricky had to be pretty impressed as well to leave this long of steel part on the end of his song!

Tab, if you want to take a shot:

Thanks all of you for your response. This piece in my humble opinion is one of the greats. Thanks Mr.Green for this and all your work.

One of the most beautiful solos that I've ever heard. I've been told that the solo as performed at the session was much, much longer. I'd really like to hear what was dropped.[/quote]

Yes, I recall someone posting on the Forum that Ricky S., responding to someone praising Lloyd's outro, said something like (paraphrasing) "You should have heard the stuff I had to cut!"

the year Lloyd was inducted into the SGHOF,Ricky S. pulled up,tour buss band and all. Even played a while at the show. Lets you know what Ricky thought of Lloyd.

This one just kills me. Outro starts at about 1:25.

I attended the 1988 ISGC when Lloyd was inducted.
I taped Lloyd's sets (with a Radio Shack boombox - hey it worked!) - here is a link to his sets - the induction part was with Ricky and includes "Nothing Can Hurt You" with some commentary on the song. Enjoy!
