Tabs for open D

Post by M J Scott »

I am in the process of converting one of my acoustic guitars to a lap guitar, prior to making the commitment to purchase a Weissenborn style. I plan to start out with open D (Vastapol) tuning. Any idea where to find tab to use? If covered before links to those threads are appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

That is exactly what I did before I got my first lap style instrument. Dobro. I then added a Wessie, Acoustic Lap Steels and then Electric Lap Steels, I love this tuning. Here is where I got a good portion of my material. Troy is awesome. http://www.lessonswithtroy.com/dobro_le ... -D-Tuning/ I still have my converted Samick LW-213 set up for lap playing. It is my "campfire" instrument. Tuned to open D. D A D F# A D
