New HSGA Tune - Bob Dylan Medley - Chuck Lettes

Post by Gerald Ross »

Chuck sent us a nice one on this holiday weekend...
Here is a medley of some early Bob Dylan tunes. I originally worked this arrangement up on my pedal steel, but I liked some of the Dobro style ideas that happened when I switched to the lap steel. Some keys, like G, are more friendly for my lap steel tuning since I can use open strings, and this help get the creative juices flowing.

Thanks for posting the tune, Gerald. Hi Ray, glad you like the medley. Like you always mention in your posts, the lap steel has such an expressive sound. Hope to see you at the Dallas show.

6/string Tab

Thanks Gerald, That was great! How would i get 6/string tab for some of these songs? I listened to Chuck most of the day, and it inspired me to spend a lot more time on my lap steel.I new at this, and really need some tab.

Thanks for posting my tune on the Dylan site, Tor. There's lots of good stuff there. Dickey, glad you like the tune. I have many of the songs on the HSGA's site tabbed out for lap steel. Send me an Email, and I'll get you a list of the tunes. Thanks again for the nice compliments.
Chuck
