Check out John Ely's beautiful non-pedal arrangement of the old standard, Flamingo. Great stuff!

You're welcome. So many things to note .... beautiful phrasing and blocking. I love the way he allows chords to sustain without heavy vibrato. The instrument is in perfect tune and the close harmonies just shimmer.

Yes, you can right-click to save the tab and audio files to your computer. Forty years of professional-level steel guitar skills are unfortunately, not currently downloadable.

Beautiful playing! Great vibrato without getting too campy.
