A fun tune for high G. I like pairing this with "Minor Swing" in a medley.

This thread is so cool...!
i was just gonna post a thread looking for this stuff. I just got a little 6 string lap.
AWESOME...!

I love this forum.

Y'all are great.
Thanx!

Since there has not been anything posted for awhile I decided to post this Christmas Hymn that I have tabbed out for C6. This is my first tab post, sorry if the quality is not there, being hand written. Took it from the LDS hymnbook and it does not have any chords.

I have included the piano notes even though these are not all used. In order to keep the tablature section 'pure' post any comments, critiques and the like to the non-pedal section of the forum.

Hi Ricky, This is a treasure chest. Thank you very much. Sorry you never made it out to Maui to see the place and its many (expensive) golf courses. I've moved away from Hawaii as of 3 weeks ago and I'm in Thailand now. Quite a difference. Keep up the good work. Don

Away in a Manger for C6 Lap Steel.

My daughter is gettig married in September and I'd like to play Wagner's Wedding March (Here comes the Bride) for her. Gotta find tab before I can attempt to learn it ! anyone have a suggestion?

Someone would be a hero if they tabbed this one out for Lap Steel

short pedal steel solo in the middle.

...not that I'd be able to play it yet, though my wife says my songs are almost beginning to sound like music.

Look, Ma - no pedals!

It looks like the tuning for the top 7 notes goes like this (hi to lo):

E C# G# E B G# F#

Am I close? That solo sounds great. You can tell that he is the one who played the solo on Hank's "Wedding Bells". Thanks for the tab!

Hi Steve -

I just used the "standard" 10-string E9 tuning sans pedals. FF.

With all the threads about slants lately, this tab and video might be of interest. I took the melody from a study by 19th century classical guitarist Fernando Sor and added a bass line to it to include 20 different slants. Forward and reverse, but all two-strings only. Sort of an intermediate "slants workout". It's not a very good demonstration of technique, like Mike Neer's, but might be a good practice exercise if you like classical guitar music.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, so if not please tell me where would be best.

Does anyone know where I might find tab for Tom Morrell's "Wagon Wheels", off his CD "Juglin Cats" track 8? This is for dobro. Thanks.

First tab for C6-lap steel. Not perfect, but a first step...

Buddy Emmons on Dobro: "The Wabash Cannonball" from the "rainbow" Steel Guitar album on Flying Fish.

Click HERE for the audio.

Thanks Andy for such an extremely fast response.

I'm working on it.

This is Tablature for my Composition "A Byrd Has Flown" ...a tribute to Jerry Byrd. Look for the thread " A Byrd Has Flown " running currently in
Steel Players and Steel Without Pedals.
Produced with Ron Turner ClicTab Software.
Note: 8 string tuning at left of the first column

Thank you John for posting this song. I have been practicing it every day for the last couple months or so. It is finally begginning to sound like the song. This has been good for me because the timing has been a bit tricky as it has caused me to pay better attention to the time of each note.
If you come up with more gems to post, I'm awatchin'.
Have a great week.
Dick

It's been a year and a half since you posted Suger Moon on here Andy. Just to let you know I sure appreciate it. I have practiced that one everyday. Finally almost have it memorized. It's fun to play and sounds real nice.

Should you have any more c6th 6string tabs to post I sure would use them. Or even tabs in other 6 string tunings.
Thanks so much and have a great week.
Dick

Kawohikukapulani – the Jerry Byrd video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5d9w2d6nQo

These later performances by Jerry are some of my favourites, and many forum members will be familiar with this particular video. This transcription is limited to pitches and approximate duration. I have transcribed it here using Tuxguitar. The programme is quite good for standard guitar of seven strings and it is free. While working with the audio, please bear in mind the difficulty of interpreting the steel guitar within the Tuxguitar programme.
The first nine bars were played out of meter. The values are pretty close, and I welcome any corrections or suggestions. There are several long slides, vibratos, and broad arpeggios. Variations in the speed of the slides and runs are part of the emotional feel. An absolutely accurate interpretation of Jerry’s nuanced delivery would be worthy of a PhD thesis, but that would not be nearly as much fun as giving the arrangement one’s own personal touch. A PDF is available.

PS On that first C7th chord, it is probably better to go to a double stop on the 6th fret instead of the reverse slant I indicated.

Thanks to Steve Green for the video download.

Here is my first attempt at finding a tune and tabbing it out. I'm putting it here as much for constructive criticism as anything else, but if it proves to be useful to beginners like me, then that's great too.

Hi Jim,

I see you wrote that in the key of Eb. Not a very common key for Steel solos unless you have a horn in the band? I would transpose it to D major ( move it all down one fret) OR move it up a fret to E Major. Those are more common to Spanish guitar players who may chord along some backup for you.
I did a quick ClicTab in the key of D and you will note I divided the music up into measures. This is 4/4 time so it maintains 4 beats to the bar.
Not being critical OK....
You are doing great and I hope this helps.

Thanks for the comments Roy...no particular reason for the Eb, just where it sounded right with the audio track I was following. Thanks for the transpose and adding the measures.

Here is my book. a complete chords and scales book so you can study it and play any genre you want.

No more guessing where chords are.
