Sweetheart of The Rodeo - The Byrds

Mark Hershey · Post by **Mark Hershey** » 21 Nov 2013 4:09 pm

Figured I'd start a post with all of the tabs I could find on the forum, youtube lessons etc. so this thread could be an aggregate to all the information out there.

One of my favorite albums, and one of the main reasons I bought a pedal steel.

Feel free to chip in.

Hickory Wind

One of the first intros I learned and mastered on the steel.

Johnny Up's lesson on the song is great. If you email him he will send you the tab of the song for free.

Peggy Green's awesome tab of the song. Sound files are on the post, have not clicked on them to see if they work.

Forum with several broken links into it. I emailed the poster to see if they could repost. If anyone has it perhaps they could repost it?

Hi Mark, this is a great thread! I reposted my 100 years tab on the thread above (scroll to the bottom). The tab is pretty close but the notation is only a rough guide.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Jay Dee Maness at the Irish steel guitar festival a few weeks ago, let's not forget he's on just as many Sweetheart tracks as Lloyd! Still my favourite steel guitar album.

John and Joey, thank you both for pointing this out. Now I will go and compare them to see how much they are in sync. Thanks guys, steve t

Some of the threads linked above have great information, I recommend reading through them. Lloyd Green responds in the "Nothing was Delivered" thread through a proxy.

I highly recommend purchasing the deluxe album. It has great packaging, great liner note, great outtakes and rarities. David Fricke is one of music's best writers and he does all the liner notes for the remastered Byrds CDs which can all be bought new for around $5.00 a pop which is an incredible bargain (the deluxe version will cost more but is worth it).

Also, here is a great interview with Lloyd and if you scroll down you'll see a section where he talks about recording with The Byrds.

Somehow I never saw that Vintage Guitar story before. Maybe it used to be behind a pay wall. Great piece! Corrects some mistaken 'facts' that I'd thought I knew.

Thanks, Mark! I'm learning pedal steel (been playing non-pedal for a while now) and I have set a goal to learn all the songs on this album. This is most helpful!

There's a lesson from Jeff Rady for you "Ain't Going No Where"

For this tune he has a free tab and lesson on his website as well.

He's also tabbed the solo to the song as a paid lesson. I've bought a few lessons off of his site, you have the option to pay by Paypal if you don't like giving out CC over the web and his lessons cost a few bucks. I found it to be very worth it if you need someone to meticulously walk you through every move in the song. He walks you through each section and keeps playing the sections a couple of times in the lesson (sometimes slow enough so you get it). For my learning style they've worked out well.

He has Hickory wind as well but I really like Johnny Ups lesson for that song. It's the first Byrds song I learned.

Does anyone have tab for "You Don't Miss Your Water"?

Joachim Kettner · Post by **Joachim Kettner** » 2 Jan 2015 12:44 pm

No steel on "You Don't Miss Your water".

Not really. I was only joking.

Melanie ReMine · Post by **Melanie ReMine** » 2 Jan 2015 12:57 pm

Sorry… I was at work and when I saw your post, I immediately assumed some curmudgeon was giving me a hard time! I should have known no one on here would do that!!
Actually I enjoyed hearing that version, Joachim. I knew it was an old R & B song, but hadn't heard it. Sure is different!! $:\$

Melanie ReMine · Post by **Melanie ReMine** » 2 Jan 2015 11:28 pm

I'm having trouble getting the intro right on that one.

Joachim Kettner · Post by **Joachim Kettner** » 3 Jan 2015 1:17 am

Only the outro so far, Melanie. But I guess you already knew that.
