The Steel Guitar Forum

I have been asked to play our National Athhem for a 4th of July Celebration. I have never heard it done on steel but want to try.Can anyone provide me with the tab? I would prefer to play on my 8 string non-pedal in C6th but any tuning will work. If all else fails, I am struggling with E9th pedal but would give it a try.
Thanks to anyone who can help

I believe it was tabbed out for E9 in one of the Steel Guitar World Magazines. E-mail your address to me and I'll snail mail (or fax) a copy to you.

Lee, from South Texas

This arrangement only requires the A,B pedals and 4th string E to Eb knee lever. It's in the key of C.
