The Steel Guitar Forum

Does anyone have Lloyd's "Today I Started Loving You Again"

Tim,

I tabbed that one out. What a beautiful,fascinating arrangement he did. You want a copy?

Would it be possible to put it on the Forum here? Thanks

I have Bruce Wandmayer's permission to share
his tab. He did a great job tabbing this song. It includes all three variations. I will post it as soon as I can get the time to convert it to text. Those of you who want it sooner email me your fax number I will send you the hand written version.

I have transcibed Bruce's tab to text.

Today I Started Loving You Again-key of E
By Merle Haggard

Based on Lloyd Green arrangement from "Ten Shades of Green" album

Tab done by Bruce Wandmayer. Bruce says: "Lloyd Green is a masterful
steel guitarist. It was an interesting exercise figuring out how he
did those changes. Since I didn't talk to Lloyd it's open to interpretation,
so if you feel any of it should be done differently, be my guest."

PART I

~=pedal on or slide; E=lower half tone; 1/2=half pedal

Great job posting the tab Steve. I just cleaned up the long horizontal lines a little. Can't wait to play through it(yeah right, if I ever actually got to sit down and practice)ha..........
Ricky

I have edited the original post to include the 2nd and 3rd parts.

Thanks, Ricky, for fixing things. You may need to look at it again.

I have been trying some other ways to get the same notes....there are many possiblities.

I have some .jpg images of Bruce's original tab which includes a lead line and has the song divided by measure so the timing is indicated. There are five pages each about 30-40 Kilobytes. email me if you want me to email it to you.

Thanks, Bruce, for working this one out.

Great job, Bruce!!!! Thanks Steve and Ricky for getting it up onto the Forum.

Thanks a bunch guys. Really appreciate it

Here are the jpeg images of Bruce's tab. Sorry for the poor quality. Hope you can see well enough.

Steve;
If I hear this correctly, you might have to fix up your posted tab a bit. I notice on the last measure on the first page of Bruce's handwritten tab, the notes on the 12th and 10th frets, the low harmony note should be on the 8th string after playing that 7th note on string 9. Same thing with the next notes on fret 10---the low note should be on the 8th string as well. Just an oversight in transposing from Bruce's tab to the Forum, I think. A great job, none the less, and I thank you for putting it up there.

Thanks Steve and all. I'm going to try this one before I hit the sack tonite. Great transcription too

Don,

You are correct. Sorry that I missed that mistake. I will try to correct it.

I'm pleased that you are enjoying the tab. Bruce really did a good job with this.
