I found this track in my itunes library. It seems to be from a Jeff Newman CD with no title. I'd like to know the name of the tune so I can figure out where I got it, and maybe also find the tab for it. thank you !!

"Someone to give my lovin' to"

Hey Karen, that one's easy..... Paycheck's "Someone to Give My Love To"!
I hope that helps you in some way! Good luck! Roger

thank you ! i'd love to get the tab for this but dont see it on the Jeff Newman site. Will try to learn it by ear but if anyone has the tab please let me know !

www.jeffran.com Jeff Newman and a Few Good Friends audio course, but includes 5 other tunes. Tab book and CD.

Perfect thank you I will order it tomorrow yay

no word from Jeffran. Anyone have any news regarding the wesite ? such great learning material there, would hate to see it shut down

There is a Bill Ferguson video of Jeff playing this tune at the 1993 ISGC on YouTube. He is doing a bunch of behind the roller nuts string raises in the open position with his fingers. I think its one of the coolest tunes! This one might be a tough one to figure out

I understand their Grand Daughter is going to try and run it. Not sure when things will get to normal. I sure hope it continues, there is still a few things I don't have yet.

Jeff was up there with Buddy as a player and master. My opinion, and helped so many to learn a great instrument.

I do believe Jeff played that tune on a 12 string uni. I worked it out on my Uni and the low notes fit and sound perfect. However, you can play it on a 10 string E9th tuning. I've never seen any tab to it, so, I don't know how it's tabbed.

Newman and a Few Good Friends course has it tabbed out on a 10 string and includes where and when to push the various strings in the open position to get the sound. It's quite a feat to learn it.

That one I would like to get too.

Hi Karen. This is a quite a song to learn. I attended one of his sessions over 30 years ago and he featured this one. I was just learning E 9th. I was so drawn to it, I spent countless hours on it. So I do have the tab and it is for 10 string standard pedal setup. Since you are having trouble getting it from what's left of Jeff and Fran's source I would be happy to to send it to you. I think I also still have the full backing track also that helps a lot. Let's do a PM if you will please. I won't have access to my studio for a couple of days but I will get it for you if you haven't acquired it somewhere else.

Hint: Some of those notes you hear bending, well he did that by putting pressure on the string behind the bridge to raise it a half step. Seriously........

Not having any luck, getting any response from the Grand Daughter. I called her last week, left msg to call me, but so far nothing. I sure hope she takes it and goes, or lets Rick and Jan take it over. It would be a really sad affair to let all of what Fell and Fran worked for, go to waste.

I have set and watched and listened to this video a couple times. Jeff played a S12 Universal. To me it sounds in places he is using 8-9-10-11 in some combination to get the deep sounding notes. In some places it looks like he is moving his Left knee to reach 4 to 7 pedals and you hear him go to 6th sounding licks. I am finding some of those octave low licks working on a Universal not available on 10 String E9. The notes are on a 10S E9 will make it an octave higher than the video. Good Luck.

Bobby, if you get his E9th/B6th book of this course. It really makes more sense then trying to just watch the DVD. The DVD will then make a lot more sense too. It is all really great when put together. He was the real master of the Universal tuning hands down. You'll really like it.

Hey Karen, I have a tab from Jeff Newman I can make copies if you still want one. Steve Black, 614-562-2291, Black43230@yahoo.com

Steven, I wouldn't mind a copy my self, if you wouldn't mind, and it's OK on the forum. I can call you or e-mail.

I just talked to Melissa, they had some problems with the phone when she took over, the phone company changed the number. The old number is working and she is taking orders!!
