Ben Keith fan- pedal steel tab project

Post by Kevin Bergdorf »

I recently got into playing pedal steel and have started work on a project to tab out Ben Keith's steel parts on Harvest and then a few songs from Tonights the Night.

There have been a lot of great posts on the forum about Big Ben, his style and equipment. The book "Harvest Off the Record" was recommended here and I actually found a copy last week.

Has anyone else worked on this idea? Open to suggestions, collaboration etc. and I hope to post the finished project at some point.

Working on "Out on the Weekend" now...

I'd be interested in a little bit of collaboration. I'm trying to improve my ear training so this could help.

Note that there are some Ben Keith tabs in the tab section of the forum, as a way to get going, if you like...and I'll be interested to see what you all come up with...

Thanks! I found the intro to "Albuquerque" and an early attempt at "Deep Forbidden Lake" both of which were on my list. Also some great notes on "Out on the Weekend". I really appreciate it.
