After faffing about, at first trying to find this on youtube (and failing), then trying to upload this to youtube (and failing) :cry:

I thought I'd try this approach

I sincerely hope this works. Lloyd's accompaniment is so tasteful, not one wasted note, and if you haven't heard this you're in for a killer treat.

Enjoy :guitar:

Great version from Lloyd. He has so much taste.

I recorded a version of this song a few years ago. I'll post it on here later. In the meantime hear is Lloyd playing SO SAD live at a St Louis steel convention. Brilliant.

Wow! Lloyd's, without doubt, the tastemaster :guitar:

And all this is delivered on a basic 3+4 setup :shock:

No bells and whistles required, outstanding :guitar:

Look forward to hearing your take on this lovely tune, Ken.

Thanks for these, absolutely wonderful.

OK - before I heard either of the great Lloyd Green versions of So Sad, I recorded this version on my Show Pro not long after I got it home from the USA. It was my small tribute to Phil Everly fairly soon after he passed away. I used a Peavey 100 watt 2 x 12" Valve King and mike'd up the amp. Nowhere near as good as Lloyd's sublime versions I'm afraid, but I don't like to copy too much done by other players.

Ace Ken, I presume you played guitar as well. Very nice.

Fantastic Ken :guitar:

Sweet tone, and I particularly liked how you played the 2nd verse in unison. Is that fast bar work, or clever pedalling? Or both :guitar:

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting.

Danny - the unison section was done on strings 2 (lowered a tone) and 5 (raised a tone). Nothing clever I'm afraid.

Donny - no I didn't play the lead guitar part, but I played an acoustic guitar part. I played that tune at the Dallas Steel Show in 2014. It's a nice tune to play - you ought to have it at one of your monthly meets.

Thanks for sharing that,Ken. I reckon it's an excellent alternative voicing to bring in, and clever enough for me :guitar:

Brilliant playing Ken.
