Ronnie Wood is a pretty good steel player!

Al Perkins is who you here on Torn and Frayed,and Ronnie Wood is not very good on pedal steel guitar. Just my two cents.

..and I'd love to have that tab too !!

Ouch!

I saw them in concert a year and a half ago- Ronnie played a better steel than Keith did 6-string!

James,- I'm basing my opinion on a couple of YOU TUBE songs I saw him on.Plus,I'm a big Mick Taylor fan and the Ronnie doesn't really impress me.-JD

His coat is torn and frayed--
he's seen much better days--
just so long as the guitar plays--

Jim-
No offense intended- just poking fun at the old rock and roll geezers

He's seen much better days

Cliff-
does this match those lyrics

Wanted to resurrect this very old tab request with some good news!

Been listening to the Stones Exile on Main Street lately and have always loved Al Perkins playing on Torn and Frayed and wanted to learn the solo. I didn't find the tab, BUT I did find several helpful youtube vids that have popped up since this old thread was last updated

This is the one I found the best...

Ron Wood with Small Faces /The Faces /Rod Stewart playing slide guitar ,he’s really good. I Saw Rod Stewart and the Faces around 1970 or so…they killed it…in those days when the lights came up you could rush right up to the stage, like I always did. It was a party led by Rod and the boys, they were drinking out of bottles of Blue Nun wine and jamming a lot..probably a little organic material as well… it ranks up there with some of the best concerts I’ve seen.. Slide is his strength…. Gasoline Alley album is a good example. Saw Allman Brothers with Dwayne too.Just killer..thought they would never quit ..The good ol days….
