From the album "Lloyd's of Nashville" this is one of the most rousing (and most challenging) Pedal Steel Guitar instrumentals of all time.

I hope this can be a community effort. I believe the notes are correct as written but suspect that Lloyd played certain things differently, especially the ultra fast double stops. Please recommend any corrections or improvements. I didn't tab the solo or the slightly altered head but intend to do so in the future.

The only rendition on the internet seems to be Bjørn Elvestad's cover that sounds very, very close to the original to my ears.

I've made quite a few corrections. This one is a lot closer to the mark but surely needs further improvement.

Updated again with many changes. I think it's a lot more playable now but still needs more work.

Hi Chris, I imagine the original is copyrighted. If someone can get Lloyd's approval and copy me then I could do that. I have a high resolution digital version of the album stored away somewhere but haven't had the time to search for it. Ideally he might even comment on the tablature too.
