C6 TAB Lapsteel Moonlight Serenade - Glenn Miller
Hi lapsteelers !
Serious job this time ... can I play Moonlight Serenade on a six string lapsteel?
It took some weeks to find out, and to learn to play it reasonably.
Slants are a nice challenging part of lapsteel, but now I entered the area of 3-tone slants!
In theory most of the time it's not possible to play 3 notes at a pure pitch in a slant position.
But by practicing you can find an avarage chord that sounds good enough for most ears (I think ).
My version of this arrangement is here:

As always, if you want to give it a try, just email me, and I'll send the complete PDF
and the backing track, for free.
(although a little donation is welcome, but that's up to you)
Take care with the virus, all the best to you,
Bert

Great slant exercise for the bar hand. I like the song.

See my first comment, Francesco.
A lapsteel is not a piano.
You have to "tune" your notes yourself, just like a violin player ...
So with these three notes, think of 4-5-7 of your scale, and try to come as close as possibl e.
Luckely there's something before and something after, don't fixate on the moment ...
Good luck!😉

Man, you hit me hard with that one...
Been playin music for +/-30 years and now everything seems to be fallin apart... but no! I will work hard on this one, and luckily overcome the new challenge.
Thanks a lot for this great lesson.
Need to listen with my inner ear, not with my eyes......
There's some kind of mental block that tells you a priori "it won't work" cause we're educated that way, i think.
Sorry if I overextended in my words, but i greatly appreciate your advice.

I didn't mean to confuse your world, Francisco.
In fact as a player I feel a beginner,
but finding out things by yourself creates new views!
Just try, after a few weeks it'll be in your fingers.
By the way, another one to work on in this same idiom could be Mood Indigo.
And . . . coincidence or not . .
Just a few weeks ago I was filling my time with carving aerated concrete ...

tab and backing track
Hi Bert.
I messed around with string pulls playing resonator.
It's a little easier with lighter string gauges.
By the way, could I get backing tracks and tablature from you?
Thanks! I really appreciate the work you put into your arrangements. Fun to play!
