Thanks for this great tab. I have a number of arrangements but I think this one is the best. It incorporates some ease and some challenges. Another great job.

John,

Many thank's for your wonderful tablature. The presentation is superb! I do not have my steel yet, this tablature of 'The Old Rugged Cross' will be my inspiration and my reason to reach my goal at becoming reasonably proficient on this wonderful instrument. One day I hope to be able to play it well....

Yours aye.

Charles Forsyth.

I got a nice tab from Erv Niehaus

Erv Niehaus made a nice Tab of several songs, the Old Rugged Cross being one of them. I dearly love playing that song on my Steel Guitar. It's like Jesus was there enjoying the music.

I's nice to know that Jesus forgives my bad sour notes, too....
