Even with pedals,Lloyd Green uses forward & reverse slants. Check him out next time you get a chance to see him play.

Now I see why I was recommended to get a different style of bar than the "dobro" one for starting out.  Can't do those slants with the hand grip thang.
Great vid. |

| Very cool. First chance I've had to see him. Not much of that famous string-pulling, but man, those slants... |

Had to consult my own book (shameless plug) ... Billy uses a 10-string non-pedal tuning (Hi to Low) D,G,E,C,A,G,E,C,A F ... same as Bobbe Seymour's 8-string C6th/Famaj7 with 9th and a 5th on top.
Billy is the nicest guy you'll ever talk with ... very modest and considers himself in a continual learning curve on the instrument. Looks like he's got one of those Zirconium bars. In the early days of the forum, they were still being made. Now, those who have 'em covet them dearly. |
