Pedal Steel Lesson: Intro + Solo You Ain't Goin' Nowhere / Lloyd Green Pedal Steel Solo

[@logannday]

Need more content from you. Playing and instructional value are excellent

[@kinggatess]

i don’t even own a pedal steel and i watched this whole thing simply because this may be the most beautiful song to ever incorporate a pedal steel. gotta love the byrds!

[@licksandtricks6809]

Awesome 😎

[@ポンタサスケ]

とても勉強になります。 ありがとうございます。

[@robert.williford527]

The most clear and concise explanation of this iconic intro that I have seen thus far 👍

[@JohnSims3]

Crocs are my favorite to play in. My second favorite is Sperry topsider boat shoes. Allows me to feel the pedals... :D

Going to pull out my Bud LDG model, and mess with this a bit. Thanks for showing us.

Love what you do Hamilton, thanks (UK)

Thank you!

[@derbyd10]

Hamilton, very cool Lloyd transition lick right as you go into the 2 chord at :04” It’s his style that makes the difference

[@raysmetana1826]

I really like your teaching style, the way you explain things makes sense to me and makes your videos easy to follow. I would love some more videos like this, Good Work!

[@licksandtricks6809]

Great channel, just found you! I’d love to see a breakdown of the Blue Bayou solo. Thanks!

[@mickkollins]

Just found your Channel and subscribed your instructions and style are great thank you

[@licksandtricks6809]

Thank you! I'm glad my instruction style works for you :)

[@stevenseachrist2051]

This is fabulous! Headed to the basement to try it out now...

[@licksandtricks6809]

Get it!

[@keithclark486]

Sounds great Can you do fire on the Mt , Marshall Tucker band.

[@licksandtricks6809]

Thanks for the recommendation! I've had to put the youtube channel on the back burner for a while, but I'll be back at it soon!

[@benlozoff]

Man, I can't wait to come back to this video once I have my pedal steel. Thank you! I'm looking for guidance on whether I should get a single neck or if I'll regret not just going for the double right away. Thoughts?

[@jonathanfrieze8497]

great content brother you got to keep up the work and put out some more lessons id love to get some help on the wheel i feel like ive got parts but id love to put the whole thing together but ive been having troubles getting my c pedal the 4th string isnt only coming a little over a half a step 5 strings still dead on ill figure it out

[@jacquesdebruyn7884]

Good job mate, I only start going over from Lap steel to paddle, and first time using E9 too. I would like to get the chords on an chart but struggle to find it the way you teach. All the way from Australia👍

[@LoveLove-rr3zu]

Is knowing all the scales the best way to solo

[@maxjohnson6005]

Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you doing this channel! It would be really cool to see you do “Sin City” by the Burrito Brothers or “Night Life” by Ray Price.

[@licksandtricks6809]

Right on bud! I appreciate the requests 🤙🏻

[@MangoDaVille]

Aloha Hamilton, great lesson! I worked out the intro/solo on my own and then planned to compare it against yours. My old 70's 6140 Bud couldn't find a lick on the first string. I have and E and F and a D pedal only (no KNLs) but I usually can pick up stuff. Then I watched your lesson and saw you have a first string raise. Phewww! P.S. Read the comments re Crocs. Pedals on a 6140 are close, very tensile and hurt my feet if I play barefoot. It ain't recommended! Anywho thanks for the lesson, very kind of you! Johnny Pal, boot pedaler.

[@licksandtricks6809]

Hey Johnny - thanks for dropping a line! I've never sat behind an all pedal setup such as yours. Regarding the first string raise, I left that one alone for so many years, but I have been digging into it a bit more lately. Mine is only a half-step, but I'm thinking I might modify it to be a whole step. At least with the lick in question there is a bar move workaround. Here's to happy steelin' :)

[@Daboomboomboomboom]

Would this be possible on lap steel?

[@RC-Heli835]

What model steel guitar is this? Sounds great!

[@jameswoodall5209]

🙌

[@steelecooper4140]

Hello Al, great playing my friend, I have messed around with this song for a few years. As you mentioned the chords are G, Am and C. Question: I see you playing the Am chord on the 5th fret. What pedals etc. do you use on for the Am on the 5th. fret? Thanks

[@derbyd10]

If you have a pedal or knee lever that lowers the 3rd interval a half step you can make an Am at the 5th fret. I think he was only demoing the A chord )the 2 interval, in the progression.

[@1deadmanshand]

What is your Emmons tune to?

[@licksandtricks6809]

E9 with an Emmons copedent

[@glennjones6100]

I want a pedal steel so bad

[@cincinnatipedalsteel4347]

Nice job man. Just found your channel. Great stuff. What year is your Emmons? My push pull is 1981. Also, where did ya get your hat? Yes, that is Lloyd Green.

[@licksandtricks6809]

Thanks so much! Mine's an '82 :) Ah the Emmons hat! I bought it from another steel guitarist who made a handful of them. I think he sold them all though. Maybe Kelsey will make some merch for the rebirth of the Emmons company.

[@joshuasummers6109]

Are those Crocs?

[@licksandtricks6809]

Yeah bub :)

[@firesteel01]

Lot of guys on the forum play barefoot. So what's the big deal about crocs?

[@licksandtricks6809]

Barefoot is not for me. With the narrow Emmons pedals it requires manipulating the muscles in your feet and toes in weird ways which is uncomfortable (for me- lots of different feet out there) and taking unnecessary attention away from my hands. Crocs are great for practicing. They’re comfortable and I like the shape.

[@firesteel01]

@@licksandtricks6809 right. comfort matters. I'm not the shoe police. I can't play barefoot either. Narrow pedals. Maybe on an old 'Bud. It would never occur to me to question what a person wears to play. If it feels good...

[@joshuasummers6109]

Love it!

[@steveharrop8705]

This is the song that turned me into a steel player. Heard it in 68, but could not afford a steel until 73. Been playing ever since. I worked this out decades ago, but I enjoyed watching you play it. For For 49 years, I have been able to work stuff out just by listening, but there are two that I have problems with. I'll come running, had a problem with and the same song done by John Hughey on the Emmons course which i no longer have as my border collie bitch chewed the tape. It was not tabbed in the course, it was JH playing it. It's a different version than on his album. Have you done either?
