Converting tab to music notation - Can you help?

Sherman Willden · From: Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA

Regarding the song *She Thinks I Still Care* in Winnie Winston’s *Pedal Steel Guitar* book. In an effort to teach myself to read music notation I decided to reengineer *She Thinks I Still Care* from steel guitar tablature to music notation. This is what I think I know about the first two measures. She Thinks I Still Care is written in the key of B in 4/4 time. The first measure starts with a three beat rest followed by four eighth notes. The notes are a glissando of F# B E to G# B E to F# B E to G# B E. The second measure is a half beat followed by three eighth notes. The half beat is F# B D# and the eighth notes are C above E followed by a glissando of A# to G#.

Thank you;

Sherman

Here is a link to a page from here that lets you print out pages with tab AND standard music lines drawn on them right above each other - you can print them out for four, six, eight, ten or twelve strings. I printed a big stack of six and ten string pages with treble clefs and find them really useful. http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum8/HTML/002039.html

Thank you, David. I created my own tab and staves document which has both the bass and treble cleffs which I find more useful. I wanted a note for note direct relation of the tab.

It's harder to do the reverse. So many choices.
