Fred, your old I to IV fits beautiful as I to VImajor ending at 9th fret A&B pedal.
And continued in IImajor to V7.
And the D and Db together in the last example is also nice.


One in 3/4 time. Going down from E to A

I'm so proud of everybody here. Great jobs everyone!!!!!
This my my highlight of the day when I can look in here and seeing everybody workin' and learning so hard.
This is the greatest.

Hi Ricky!

We're honored by you comments. This is the next best thing to a jam session with these folks. Many thanks to Bengt and others, I'm getting more out of this than I'm putting in.

Take care.....Fred

about as generic as it gets, simple yet amazingly adaptable:

OK guys, what does the little square in the tab stand for?
I'm old and CRS, but the steel is a great pass time. If I'm lucky I get to play a jam about once a month if I can drive the 3 hours to get there.

Hi Roy

I'm not quite sure what you mean about the square. Can you give me an example of where it appears? We may have some kind of a software problem here. Thanks...Fred

This stuff is great, especially for someone like me who is really just starting out again on this instrument.

Thanks to all,

Hey John,,,you're right,,,this is GREAT ! Sharing,,,that's what it's all about. One thing that seems to be a distinct difference in guitar players and PSG'ers, is that willingness to share. That why I wanted to start this thread. Keep'em coming!!!

Another E9 riff- a variation of the previous "bouncy" riff above fits over a G or a G-D-G :

This is good stuff. It's to bad we couldn,t post MP3s to back up these licks It would be nice to here how they really sound.

Thanks Lots of talent here

For Fred Truitt.
A good example is the posting just prior to mine from Dave Van Allen posted on 4 Dec.
His tab in E9 Key of C starts out on the third string with a numeral 3, and then two square boxes show up then a 3B. After that it shows a 3 on the 4th , 1st, 5th, 4th, and back to the 5th string then two more squares, etc etc.
Thanks for the response.

Hello Roy

What you are seeing is supposed to be a "tilde" or a sideways "s" which is used to show a pedal action or a gliss or sustain etc. I'm no computer expert but it has something to do with the character set. I have noticed this "square" on some of the earlier IBM keyboards. Please run this question by bOb or Ricky Davis. I'm sure it's a little glitch that can be ironed out. Does this appear on all the tabs in the thread? I can see how this can be frustrating for you. Best Holiday Wishes.........Fred

I see what ya'll are saying now. Yeah those are supposed to be a "tilde" which is a squigly horizontal line usually found on the key just to the left of the Number 1 key. I have't thought of other key boards and the entrys they make; until I remembered trying to type on a Dutch keyboard in Holland>ouch.
Anywho>seems to me that the problem you might be having reading the "tilde" would be some font recognition prob>bob? Help>what's going on here?
I'm seeing the "tilde"; but for some folks it's coming out different.
Ricky

The square box shows up when a character doesn't exist in the font that you're using. Tab uses your browser's "monospaced' font. Probably you've changed this from its default setting at some point. A lot of cheap fonts don't have all of the characters in them.

In Internet Explorer, use the 'Options...' command in the 'Tools' menu. Click the button that says 'Fonts...'. Set the monospaced or 'plain text' font to one of the following: Courier New, Andale Mono, or Monotype.com.

You guys are true "teckies". You've hit on it and I hope Roy will be satisfied.

Roy, let us know how you make out.....Fred

Thanks guys, problem is now fixed. The fonts were screwed up in IE5 and on Microsoft IE (WEB settings)
It's hell to get old and CRS.
Must be the cold and snow up here in the mountains.

Hey Roy; Ricky here. I'm glad it worked out for ya and I went ahead and deleted the other post in brainstorming this matter.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Ricky Davis on 14 December 2000 at 10:49 PM.]</p></FONT>

Hello Tony

Thanks to Sonny, he started a wonderful thread. He made us all think and then contribute some things we may take for granted. This has been a wonderful experience for me too! I have learned so much from these fellow pickers. As the old saying goes "You can't buy this in stores"
Best Holiday wishes to you and yours and I hope to see you on here soon, giving us some of your tab. Regards........Fred

My first attempt at tab. This one is a familiar one...

[tab]
P = Pick.
P Slide = Pick and then slide bar without picking again.

Steelin' is a way of life!

My PSG website-Carter SD-12-U, 8p/5k, Nashville 1000

It took 18 pages to print this post but I think it will be worth it. And thanks to everyone for sharing. The first one I learned lowers the E's, 5 & 8 strings on the first fret, AB on 3rd fret, open 8th fret, E's lowered 13th fret,AB 15th fret then slide back down to 13th let off the pedals and push the knee again. There's some letting off knee and pedals but you,ll hear where and when. It,s just playing the C chord up the neck with an ending. It took about two weeks to get it all togather and I felt pretty cocky and though this is a piece of cake but...WRONG! I,ve got Buddy's E9th Chord Vocabulary ($10.00) from Scotty's and got the start of that run from It.

Bob Carlson

Uff Da!

Hey John Sims

Thank you so much for sharing that lick. I'm new at tabbing too, but man, what a way to learn. Hope to hear more from you on the Tablature page. Best Holiday wishes....Fred
