When You Wish Upon A Star

Post by mickd »

Mike Ihde's "A Different Slant" is a great collection of tunes arranged for Lapsteel Leavitt tuning.
With Mike's permission, I have taken his arrangement of 'When You Wish Upon A Star', and transposed it for E9th PSG.
The symbols used are
A standard
A* half pedal
B standard
D lower 2
E lower 4, 8
F raise 4, 8
V raise 1, 7

I did the tab in Excel, but there doesnt seem to be any way to copy from that into Notepad & carry across the TAB lines Image .
So, I have improvised. This is what I did
1) In Excel, 'print preview'
2) 'print scrn'.
3) paste the buffer into an image editor
4) crop the image
5) saved each page as a JPG
6) upload pages to my Web site.

I hope the end result is legible and printable for those who want to try it out. It was fun to do anyway Image.
If anyone would like the original spreadsheet (easier to print), email me and I'll send it.

I've edited this a bit to make it easier to play and hopefully it should now be easier to read/print. Here's the link

I have edited the tab once again and now its easy enough (just) for me to play, so I have added a sound clip. Half way through I added a bit of lapsteel just for fun Image
