Here's one Herbie Wallace played often! Here's a way of archiving chord melody arrangements without the tedium of tabbing out every note..I call it "short tab"like shorthand! The first number is the fret,then pedals( 4-8 on C6, knee levers are named by note they give you on open strings..ie:10/56Bb..would be 10th fret 5+6 pedals + Bb knee lever .

Thanks, John, I like your notation system. I heard Herbie play this at a steel show and never forgot it - nice tune!
