Hank Willams

Post by Matthew Warman »

I play lap steel and a big fan of all things Hank Williams. The book by Don Helms for E13 (Your Cheatin' Heart) has been really useful for learning some of these songs. Don didn't play steel on all of Hanks recordings, would anyone out there know of any source or have any other of Hanks' songs tabbed out for 6 string lap steel, tuned high to low - G#,E,C#,B,G#,E? any tabs in C6 will do as I can transpose them. Thanks.

If you move the strings down 3 whole tones you have E C A G E C, a C6 tuning. You can play the tab as is, then move it up 4 frets to get back to the original key.
