Lloyd Green

I'm told that the first "hit" where Lloyd received pay on a recording, he did not play a musical instrument and he did not sing. This recording was by a male who is still a member of the Opry.

Something by Roy Drusky?

The first #1 Lloyd recorded was "Girl on the Billboard" by Del Reeves. All he did was a pick scrape after the line "The sleepy headed painter said the girl wasn't real and you better get the (pick scrape sound) on the way".

Finally! A Lloyd Green lick I can play!

Lloyd didn't do any pick scrapes at ISGC... he was awesome.

Where can I get a session like that? I think I could do that.

BTW, I just got done viewing the Lloyd Green and Tommy White video. Both were outstanding.

HERB!

Rarely do I laugh out loud when reading the forum. When I read your reply
"Finally a LG lick I can play...I just let out!!"

Good call.

Here is a pic of me working for Del....and yes I put the pick scrape in but unlike the TAB above I used the tenth string (E9).

See ya
