David Hartley, Video

John A. Russell · Post by **John A. Russell** » 20 Feb 2017 11:16 am

Hey all

I have, with David Hartley's permission, attempted to tab "Sing Me Back Home" as played by David on "Youtube".
This is not a beginners tab.

I am not saying this is 100% the way David plays it, but my attempt at tabbing it.

I hope that this will bring attention to David's website and to the great tab and backing tracks he has for sale.

I am offering this to anyone who has commented on any of my last tabs on the Forum, who request this one.

This was a monster to do and I want to offer it to those who took the trouble to make comments .

I have made so many new on line Steeler Friends, thanks to Bob's Forum.

Dedicated to the great player, "David Hartley"

Kind Regards

J.R.

I have received the tab "Sing Me Back Home"from John. Once again great work on the tab that John has done. I enjoy and watch David Hartley"s quite a bit. Will be ordering some of David's material from his web site. Once again, thank you John for your time and effort for making all the tabs you have prepared.

I also got the tab last night. John just does nice work and it is easy to read and figure out.

Big fan here in Texas.

John does a great job on this tab and I love watching David Hartley's Youtube videos. David is such a great steel player.

Still another GREAT tab product from John! Here's the youtube video of David Hartley's version of "Sing Me Back Home": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ4Qwdj8cBk

For guys that are relatively new to the Forum and not familiar with David and his playing, he has over 100(!) videos on youtube

David took a break from steel for over a year but is back playing again...great news for all of us

John- I've always loved that old Merle Haggard song "Sing Me Back Home"and was happy to see you had done the hard work to tab it out as well as offer it to us. I remember seeing him perform it MANY moons ago. It is sad that he is now "back home" himself, but leaves us with great songs and memories.

Also, what better player could you team up with than David Hartley? He is just terrific.
I can only hope to one day sound a third as good, and be able to give back like you are doing, John. Thank you again for all you do.

Once again John has provided us with an excellent tablature rendition of one of my favorite Merl tunes. I have Davids site marked in my bookmarks and when I just want to sit back and relax and listen to some great steel playing, I click on that bookmark. A special thank you to both you gentlemen for keeping pedal steel alive and well......now to get this tab printed off and in front of my steel.

With David's great arrangements and John's great tabs, this one has to be a winner.
I would love to have a copy of Sing Me Back Home.
Thanks in advance,
