SWEET MEMORIES John and Bill

Post by John A. Russell »

Hey All

I have often watched this John Hughey, Bill Ferguson video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sguVfM37cUM

There's a lot going on here.

I thought I might TRY and tab out the whole 8 minutes. A challenge indeed.

I have done the first part played by JH and thought I would see if other players are interested in what I am doing!

If you would like a copy of the tab, I have done, (So Far), leave your email address here and I will send to you. If enough of you like the idea, after playing it, let me know and I will get around to doing some more.

Offer has now ended.
See latest free tab, Wayfaring Stranger.

Kind Regards

J.R.

Well first, thanks for picking this video. That was surely a special night for me.

I would like to see what you have done on John's part if you would send to me.

I play it different every time I play so I could never tab it out. hehe

Thanks John

One of my favorite tunes.
Like you I have enjoyed this video from some time.

A few years back at the Nashville Legion steel show Bill Ferguson was kind enough to play this tune during his set when I requested it.
It was just excellent.

I have not been through the tabs but look forward to having the time to do so.

In the mean time, hopefully some or all of you can play it better than me.
