Hi lapsteelers,
here's a simple, sad song with a beautiful melody,
that Neil Young wrote and sang on the album After the Goldrush in 1970.
I have it on my list for a long time, and now finally I did it. It fits so well in the C6 tuning.
My YouTube-clip is here:

Not so hard to play, and really good to practice some standard slants, while making fine music!
The first part is below. You want it all?
Just email me and I'll send you the complete PDF and the backing track.
Enjoy, all the best,
Bert

Bert,
Another wonderful song for us lap steelers to learn. I really like Neil Young songs. This one is such a nice melody. Thanks Bert!
