Hey folks I am pretty new at playing. It took me awhile to find a teacher.I would like to know if I can just take guitar tabs and use them on a lap steel.

Tabs have to be written for the tuning you are playing in. :D

Then you need tab written for the open G tuning.
You can find dobro tabs written for the G tuning.
Do a search on the internet, there are several dobro books available. :D
