Chloe (Gabby Pahinui)

Post by Mike Neer »

I always enjoy breaking this one out every few years. I would say this was my gateway drug to steel guitar. While I really enjoyed David Lindley’s style of playing and consider that a big influence on me, hearing this one sent me over the top. Gabby, even with a sparse amount of steel guitar recordings, is one of my favorite players ever.

This is just a short clip of one chorus.

Agreed. Wish there were more of Gabby's steel guitar recordings available. Plus, the tab for Chloe by Mike Neer is undeniably excellent. Bigly recommended!

So good, Mike! I bought your excellent tab for this song and it's one of my favorites to play. I wish Gabby played more lap steel on his recordings.
