Lloyd Green

What a beautiful song. Lloyds latest single. This is so emotional. Wife is going mad because I keep playing it - and that's all day. This man still keeps getting better.

This is the sort of number that just makes you melt. I would challenge anyone (even the Pro's) to play this number and make it sound like Lloyd. Impossible. There is only one Lloyd Green. Absolutely wonderful. I'd pay for my wife to go to bingo every night of the week so I could listen to this in peace.

that was absolutely gorgeous ( I know I can't Spell). There'll only ever be one Lloyd Green

Having said all that, what a fabulous piece for a beginner to jam along to, in a familiar key. Great to develop fluency, the ear and particularly to listen for those "major 2" and circle of fifths moments, an essential element of anyone's skill set. A cracking piece.

I think I am right in saying that Lloyd wrote this number ("The White Light") over 20 years ago for the St Louis steel guitar show.

Lloyd is currently a full time carer for his wife Dot, who is not a well lady. He told me in an email some time ago that he was still brewing up some new original things, even though his session work was mainly confined to the core of East Nashville singer/songwriters.

Re Dave Seddon's challenge for someone to try to emulate this number, I think it's possible to get close to it, but I can hear some bar slants being used throughout which makes it difficult to unlock unless one knows the slants, strings and frets that they were used on. I might make a try when I have a day free.
