"You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" - The Byrds - Lloyd Green steel

Post by Jeff Garden »

Here's another one for us aging country rockers. This tune and The Byrds entire "Sweethearts of the Rodeo" album probably started it all with pedal steel for a lot of us. Thank you Lloyd Green for a lifetime of fantastic steel. I've seen the intro tabbed here before but thought I'd take a shot at the whole song, intro, fills, and break. Hope it's close - I've been fooled before with some of Lloyd Green's grips and string combinations. :) Comments and corrections are always welcome.
Here it is on youtube

For you dobro players, at the end of the steel tab I've also included Jerry Douglas' dobro intro to You Ain't Goin' Nowhere on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Will The Circle Be Unbroken - Volume 2" album.

Thanks, Jeff......can't wait to dig into this. I just picked up steel recently, and the intro was the first thing I learned.

Jeff, thanks for the tabs...all I had before was a rough idea of the intro. This will keep me busy for a while.
Lloyd Green, Jay Dee Manness, Jerry Garcia and Buddy Cage were my early heros of the PSG and were a huge influence on me.

Thanks Jeff, I figured out the dobro part a few years ago but was unsure about the ending, got it now and can't wait to try it out on PSG.

Thanks for the nice comments, guys. Now if someone can explain the lyrics for "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" and my other favorite Byrds tune, "My Back Pages", we'll be all set haha! Maybe it's a Dylan thing I'll never understand...

Here's a link to a youtube version that I remotely tracked steel on. It was a school project that a studio in New Zealand was doing. They sent me the song and I tracked steel (never heard the song before). I played all through the song and sent the steel track to the studio and they used what they wanted. I'm listed on the credits for the CD as "Peddle Steel Guitar".

I used my Franklin through a Peavey NV112 and connected the XLR line out from the NV112 direct to my recording board.

I nearly broke my fingers trying to learn Lloyds licks from "All I Have Are Memories", a Kevin Kelley penned tune from that record.
