The Steel Guitar Forum

Hello everyone, My mother Lynn and I wanted to post a response to thank you all for your condolences and such kind words about Fred, my father. We have heard stories about many of you, and how much he enjoyed making music with you all. I am sure him and Jimmie Crawford are up there having a blast to...

Yea, Steve,
The top 2 strings use the index and middle finger.
The lower pairs use the sweeping thumb.

This is kind of like Weldon's I'll Come Runnin'

Hope this helps.
Fred

Thanks for thinking of me, and the prayers, all you guys.
Sorry I missed the jam.
I hope next time !

Adam,
I believe you'll have way less headaches by entering the tab, and letting the music notation write itself.

Not sure what you mean re: not using open strings. If you're entering your work into the tab staff, then you have control over it as you go. [A "0" would be an open string etc.]. The music staff takes care of itself.

More information ?

If you dive into TablEdit, around $50, as you enter the tab in the timing grid, the standard notation is produced automatically, at the same time. Then you can decide whether or not to include in the printouts.

The Tabs I did for Buck Reid's CD were done in this manner.

The changer must bottom out against the hole in body. -Now le...

Had a great time, Tommy.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to put this together ! !

See you soon.

Oh Russ,
We're so sorry to hear this.
You're in our thoughts and prayers.

Fred and Lynn

Doyle's solo grows on you.

It's Sonny.

Try this, for the 10th and 12th Fret, key of D.
Ah is an A-half pedal.



Fred

Hey Russ,

You have a great birthday, and we'll have to get together soon.

Take care

Freddie

John Dieckman second from left.
Isn't that PeeWee at the steel ?

Russ,
Congratulations. Wish I could have been there !

Freddie

I tabbed that for Jean Hughey, for John's Lost in the Feeling CD tab project. But it is C6.
If you're interested you could give her a call or email.

thx
Fred

Sonny was one of the Nashville Bar Assn. along with Jimmie Crawford, Buddy Emmons, Russ Hicks and John Hughey. Great record/CD.

Also his album for Tom Bradwhaw's Record Club is fantastic.

Yea Joaquim,
I shouldn't have

Clete, good catch. You're right. I tabbed that without my steel in front of me. I'll see if I can edit the tab above.
thx
Fred

This is a great Bobby Black lick.
Try this Joaquim! The chord and 1st string ring together at the first bar of each lick.
