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...
