Hi Guys! I've been workin on this one for a few days now and finally tabbed out a rough version. Mike Sigler has a wonderful version on Youtube Click Here. Mickey Adams also has the intro worked out on YouTube. If anyone is interested, Click Here. Parts of it gave me fits and I had to come up with something that had a similar feel and sound as I've probably got a different copedant than Mike's. If anyone can come closer on the parts I struggled through I'd welcome some help with this tab. Anyway here's six pages of tab for you guys to play with. I've also got a BIAB song file and an mp3 rhythm track for those who don't have BIAB. If anyone would like the tab,BIAB file and mp3 rhythm track I'm goin to zip em up for an email attachement. Just click on my email link and ask for "The Girl In The Glass" zip file. Here's what I've tabbed. You can right click on each page to save to your computer if you don't need the rest.

Thanks for sharing. Great job, Andy.

Thanks for the well written tab.

Instead of clicking on each individual page, do a "select all" and copy it to MS Word and then it can be edited in MS Word at a later time. Easier than copying individual pages.

To "select all" with Internet Explorer, click on Edit at the top of I.E. and then click Select All. Then Edit/Copy. In MS Word do a "paste" and then save the file.

Thanks guys. As well as learnin this song I'm also learnin to write tabs with Clictab.

Andy;
Thanks very much for sending me the rhythm track of this song and also providing the tab.
Your sharing is really appreciated, H. P.

BRAVO STEVEO!

Who was the original recording artist?

Not sure who first recorded it. I'm only familar with Mike Sigler's version. Mike says his guitar player Lonnie Coots penned this one way back in the 70's and you'd think someone had recorded it before Mike. BTW, I only became familar with this beautiful tune about a week ago when someone emailed me with a request for a BIAB file. When I heard Mike play it I was inspired to try and learn it.

im not sure if anyone ever recorded it guys, I will ask lonnie, But the verson you heard here on you tube was the first instremental version ever done, then Rob parker heard my version and recorded it with Hall Rugg.
since then im not sure who all has recorded it, i can tell you it has a copy write of 1975 with lonnie as the only writer. and when i recorded it, lonnie told me not to waste my time recording an old song like that no one has ever heard, or would understand the title and background.... i told him it was only to be a filler for the Cd.
There is a really cool story behind this recording session i will post if anyone wants to hear it..
mike

Hi Mike, Please post the story so all can see it. I would be really interested in seeing it.

Thanks

Hal

Yeah Mike, tell us more!

Hey Andy, can you send me the track also. Thanks...Ricky

Hi Ricky, click on my email link with your request as there's no other way to get your email address without postin it for all to see and you probably don't want to do that.

Mike ,this song will become a steel guitar instrumental standard in due time as did farewell party,look at us.etc.Lonne wrote a really soleful tune. Rudy

Hey Rudy,
how are ya... ya i love this song, i hope it will become a standard, it is a well written tune and came from a broken heart !
Mike

Mike, I read that Lonnie wrote it for a singer, so I'm assuming that there's lyrics to it? BTW, this song is at the top of my song list right now. It's too much fun to play.

Many thanks Andy. WOW! That song is just beautiful.
I hadn't seen Mike in so many years since I lived
in Pa. and it was wonderful to see him in Mt. Vernon.
You did a super job on the tab. Hope I can learn it.

That's what E9th is all about.

Mike knows how to combine his emotions
and his technique.

Great "touchdown" playing.

A bump for any new comers.

Vocal version done by Bobby Flores...... I have a mp3 copy of it. Lovely lyrics.
I also took a stab at recording this song. There's a copy of the track on the Steel Network site.
