I have an original Traditional Country song and would like someone to write the tablature for it. I'm trying to learn to play a non-pedal 6 string artisan steel guitar with C6th tuning: Low to Hi: C, E, G, A, C, E. My e-mail address is robertwood518@msn.com. Please let me know your fee if you are in...

I agree with Robert Murphy. Did the same thing he has done. Site reading will get you playing any song. Robert

I have three 6 string lap steel guitars. Cn't play any of them, but still trying to learn. (Artisans)

Hi, Roy! It's a traditional country music song. 36 bars which includes a 4 bar intro, chords and lyrics. I'm going to your website. Robert

John & Ray, thanks for responding. C6 Tuning, (Low to Hi - C E G A C E. Tablature only. It is a fair amount of work, I've tried to do it myself. Price? Whatever is agreeable. Robert

Thank you so much, Pat Kelly. Had been to John McGann's website before, but wasn't aware of his expertise in the music industry.

Looking for someone who will write lap steel guitar tablature arrangements for original copyrighted songs (4). Have Lead Sheets.

Thanks Guys! Forgive an old man's panic. Found the help file, and printed the manual.

Thanks Gary. Guess I'm out of my league on this one. Don't know where to go first!

Is anyone using Tabledit? If so, do you have an operating manual?

Thanks, Paul! My instruction books seem to indicate that there is a chord for every note, or at least a third or a sixth note to go with the melody. Sometimes that approach doesn't seem to work,or maybe it doesn't always work that way. It seems I have to play a lot of single notes before a harmony f...

To clarify my questions about tablature. I know have three Artisan Lap Steel Guitars, 1 Metallic Blue, 1 Metallic Red, and the beautiful EA-2Metallic Black. I do not have a problem reading tablature. I am a singer/songwriter and can tab the melodies of my songs. My problem is figuring out the harmon...

Thanks,George! I'll look this one up.

Thanks John McGann! I enjoyed your website.

Thanks to Jesse Pearson & AJ Azure! Reading tab is not a problem. I have books by Dewitt Scott, Roberto Filiberto and Don Helms. I use Band-In-A-Box for rhythm backup, but playing one note tab just doesn't cut it. I need to know how to write harmony tab.

------------------

Thanks to Jeff Au Hoy. I am awaiting arrival of my Artisan Lap Steel Guitar, Metallic Black. Will get it tuned up and ready to play. I am anxious to begin tabbing the harmony on songs I have written.

Thanks, Jeff! I am awaiting arrival of my Artisan Lap Steel Guitar, Metallic Black w/stand. Will get it tuned-up with Don Helms tuning. I'm anxious to begin tabbing the harmony on songs I have written.

My thanks to Mike Neer.

In Don Helm's Book 'Your Cheatin' Heart' his E13th Tuning is E G# B C# E G# (low to hi) Surfing the internet I found another E13th Tuning in a different sequence, same strings except the D replaced the Don Helm's low G#. (B D E G# C# E) Low to Hi. What makes the difference between the two tunings, e...

Thank you AJ Azure. But very disappointing for a songwriter. Robert J. Wood, Bellingham, WA
