The Steel Guitar Forum

Over the weekend I worked out the tab for Schubert's version of "Ave Maria".
I previously did the version by Bach.
However, I believe this one by Schubert is more familiar.
If you would like to try this version of "Ave Maria", I would be happy to mail it to you.
Like my other tabs, it is written for the E9th pedal tuning.
Take care,
Erv

Dear Irv,

I liked the Bach-Gounod version that you tabbed. Thanks very much again. I guess one could transfer a midi file of the Bach Prelude #1 in C into BIAB, in order to play your tab of the melody. Or get a keyboard player to play it...

Please send me the Schubert "Ave Maria," which I also love. You really worked that one up quickly.

I'm still working on "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling," because my demo TablEdit only saved 23 measures of 3/4 time. Figuring it out seems like a good way to learn the best available frets, pedals, and slides.

If I might ask a question related to your other offerings of tabs, do your 3 books/CD's of Gospel tunes (plus 1 book of Hawaiian) come in a binding, loose, or on the CD in a .pdf file, please? I'm itching to purchase, but I have to raise the scratch. Thanks for any information.

Very respectfully,
John

John,
All my tab is loose in single format.
I have some tab 'n tracks combinations set together.
There are two gospel sets and one Christmas set.
The gospel sets consist of 12 gospel tabs with a backup tracks CD for $22 each, plus postage, and the Christmas set is 10 Christian Christmas tabs with backup tracks CD for $20, plus postage.
I do not have backup tracks for the Hawaiian songs yet. I really need to get busy on some, however, as I've had several requests for Hawaiian backup tracks.

I will get Schubert's "Ave Maria" in the mail for you today.
Take care,
Erv

Erv -

I know a few people who would LOVE to hear Ave Maria on the steel. Any chance you could send it out to me too? Thanks.

Erv.......Thanks for the Ave Maria tab.

Is there one particular version from which you transcribed this?

This arrangement of Ave Maria works on 12 string E9:

Robert,
Thanks for sending me your mailing address.
Your tab will be on its way to you today.

Tony,
I have done two versions of "Ave Maria", one is by Bach and the other is Schubert's.
I believe the Schubert version is the one that is most familiar.

Ernest,
Is that Chinese?

Erv, please include me for a copy. Should be interesting to see older tabs as well.
I'll send my adresses in pm. Respectfully, Tõnu
