The Steel Guitar Forum

I worked out an approach to Bach's music
for E9th on this famous Song. It's an ongoing
project and hopefully by next Easter I will
have it all.
I was tempted to dub the bass notes on the bottom with my standard guitar but like the
the sound of "the lone voice in the wilderness".
Happy Easter to All. http://freefilehosting.net/?id=pN/2kqXd

Always love your classical stuff, Roy. This one's nice. I've gotten about that far on it myself. I use the higher strings and "chromatic" strings a little more.

Thanks! That's really a preliminary layout.
There is a C/A minor modulation which then
reverts back to the G. I'll direct on that next. I am working with a nice classical guitar arrangement and writing on both
ClicTab and Tabledit as I go.
It's a lot of work to get to the point where you can play it fluently. Best bet is to use a joyful attitude and TIME.

Hi Roy,

I recorded Jesu, played on E9th, on my album "Steel Guitar Inspirational", sold through Scotty's Music.

It was a challenging piece, but over about 4 weeks I sightread the arrangement, accompanied by a 3-part organ counter-harmony.

Hi Mark,
I knew I was not the first, or second, third
etc.
It is a challenge..agreed. What little I did there was read from Tablature.
Doug Jernigan recorded it also many years ago on C6th tuning... all the parts, and
from memory I beleive. Over 3 minutes soloing!
Congratulations to you. It's wonderful to hear this music on steel guitar.

While doing some soldering I was listening to your rendition of "If You Could Read My Mind" (courtesy of our friend Dean Neeley). The whole CD is great but that's my favorite.

Fantastic job!

All I get is "file not found"

Pat the File Hosting site only keeps
the tunes up for 30 days and then they are
deleted.
Check with my site noted below and if you
wish the file I can send it to you.

Best Wishes,
Roy

Thanks Roy, as always for posting this stuff.

One person who hasn't been mentioned yet is Randy Beavers, whose solo arrangement on Still, a Way Without Words is one of the best things I've ever heard for solo pedal steel.

A big "AMEN" to Randy's rendition.
