Cold, Cold Heart - Tabbed in the Style of Lloyd Green

COLD, COLD, HEART
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. It seems to be very close, but hasn't been checked by Lloyd. These tabs are invaluable if you desire to play more in the style of Lloyd Green. You can't beat a melodic song like this for pedal steel guitar.

Listen along to the original 1995 recording of “Cold, Cold, Heart” as you read the tabs, so you can hear what to play. My tabs below aren't exact, but will give you a general idea of what Lloyd is doing to direct you. Go ahead and play along with the Super Jam recording as a track, which is great for learning. As Jeff Newman says, “Play what you hear, hear what you play!” Enjoy! ...

LLOYD GREEN MASTERPIECE TABS COLLECTION

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!
