Unfortunately, SmartScore's TAB function hasn't any lever or pedal extensions. Those attributes may be added at some later date. But for converting notation to TAB for lap steel (and 6 and 4-string guitar / bass), it's a complete tool.

Magnatone Troubadour 8-string for sale - New Price

I am lowering the listing price for my Magnatone 8-string for sale. I decided to buy Mitch Crane's Excel JB Frypan. The Magnatone's original pickup has been replaced with a Jerry Wallace TrueTone 15k pickup. The tone just sparkles. Scale length: 22.5" Original Kluson Lucite tuners (4th-string t...

Re: My 8-string HI-G tuning

Hi Steve I made a couple of errors in my posting (fixed now)... - GECAGECA (high to low) - The Bb on the 1st string is actually 223.1 Hz - It provides a dominant 7th with the adjoining 3 highest strings. On my Magnatone Troubadour, I use Cindy Cashdollar's basic Hi-G tuning (G C E AGECA) BUT with a ...

My 8-string HI-G tuning

On my Magnatone Troubadour, I use Cindy Cashdollar's basic Hi-G tuning (GECAGECA) BUT with a twist: Bb (223.1 Hz) G E C A G E C I don't really have much use for the low C anyway and the "wild string" Bb gives me a dominant 7th with the adjoining 3 high strings and is useful as a passing to...

Pedal Steel Ahead

I took this picture a few months back. It originally said "Steel Plates Ahead" and since I have PSGs on my mind anyway, I transposed it in my head immediately.

Andy, you got hold of my original and tweeked it. Funny.

Clarification

I need to correct my typo... My guitar is tuned to standard C6/Am7 (not E7/Am7 as I previously posted). I also have a 6-string tuned to E7. Dazed & confused I guess.. Regardless, I read somewhere that JB used C6/Am7 (with that wild C# on the 6th string) on the front neck of his guitar. That dang...

OK, here's the deal. I just restrung my Magnatone Troubadour 8-string to the standard E7/Am7 tuning (GECAGECA - Hi to Lo). Since I hardly use the low A string, I thought I'd change 8th string to C# since I knew JB used it on his 6th string. After playing with it while, I found that strings 4-6-8 giv...

Jerry Byrd C6th tuning - Question

Can someone explain simply why JB's 7th string was tuned to C# rather than than C?
Thanks.

Thank you, John, for your nice words. But I have decided to keep the guitar. It gives such pleasure. I asked myself, 'Why should I sell something that sounds so good?" I answered, "No reason".

Bob: Please unpost. NFS.

More on Tom's S-11

Thanks for that info, Bill. The guitar was set up to Tom's specifications including 4 pedals and 5 (!) levers (2 on the left leg). Here he talks about his setup in an interview with Jan Visser. The entire interview can be found here: http://tiny.cc/6j8tl J.V. Who originated the 11-string tuning? Was...

Hi Steelers My 90's - something S-11 Mullen is up for sale. I've come to realize that I haven't the time to crack the PSG code and probably never will. But it's been a joy to play occasionally. I'll stick to my guitars and lap steel. It's never left my studio and it's in great shape. Tom signed the ...

TablEdit is great software. But it doesn't scan notation or TAB sheet music.
