Greg, I want to say thaks also. I seldom came to Tablature before I found you. I have a lot of different music and can make my own tablature, but you inspire me to get off my fanny and work at it from different directions. I've told you before, I love C6, and can't get enough of it. Your Born to Lose is really the best inspiration I've had in a long time. THANK YOU. Larry

Thanks a ton for all the nice comments. I also have been helped so much by other people on and off this forum. I'll try to keep going till Spring is sprung or I flame and burn out. This Friday I've got an original C6 based tune to post that uses some of the riffs in my latest posts. It sounds great with the subwoofer cranked to bring out the low strings.
It's so easy to get distracted with this instrument. You're working on something you think is really cool and all of a sudden a Buck Owens classic comes on XM. In a flash you drop what you were working on and you just have to go figure out the steel parts. I have a few rock and roll songs and one more blues song in the works but I have no idea how to tab them accurately. There's a bunch of 40's classics and a few pop songs that voice real well on steel so whatever doesn't get finished this year will have to wait for next winter.

Greg, I would also like to add a big thank you for your good work. Your style reminds me a lot of Jeff Newman (I intend that as a really big compliment). Were you a student of his?

I appreciate the moral support! The only seminars I ever attended were the Doug Seymour School of Music and a Herby Wallace C6th seminar back in the early 80's. I'll try to do some more of the Buck Owens stuff. I was going over Lynn Anderson's stuff on Chart (Lloyd) when that Buck Owens song came on and I went off on another tangent. I'm living proof that one way to learn is by rote tab. Eventually it sinks in and you begin to connect the pockets of notes into one big connected scale. At that point you can figure out things on your own even if the steel is not in front of you.

Thanks to all of you for keeping me interested with so many requests! I am greatly humbled by your remarks and prefer to avoid the spotlight as do most of us. I can't tell you how many times I looked at some really neat tab and wondered how it sounded. The sound files are almost as much work as writing out the tab with all the transferring and format changes. I do think having the sound is more valuable in copying a riff than the musical notation with all the nuances in timing, bar movement and tone in our instrument.
I did get one more song tabbed out and I'll post that tomorrow to wrap this up. Hope to meet many of you in St. Louis this year so check all the name tags you see. I'll be in the crowd along with you!

Ernie and Tony,
Spring is sprunging but I'll post a few tabs here and there. Lots of Yankees baseball to watch and so many other committments to honor in our community. Got enough ideas for a few more books not to mention all the great ideas and riffs that have been sent to me. My problem is it's just too hard to focus in one direction. Doug Seymour sent me a great version of Tangerine and I've been working hard to copy some of the great things he did in that song. While searching for a few augmented parts I stumbled onto a whole new pocket of notes and it was two hours before I got back on Tangerine. Now I can understand why this instrument can make you go bonkers. You forget more riffs than you know. So maybe next year I can figure out how I played some of them by reading my own tab!

Carroll,
Almost every time I used to hear a great player I always thought he had a secret pedal or some hidden tuning trick. True there is a little of this now and then but most of the basic and even the advanced stuff is now available to all us right here on the Forum.
Kenny,
Back when I took the Herby Wallace seminar in 1982, he was one of the few great teachers that would let you get close to see his technique in a small class setting. Looking back I now realize the incredible time and effort that must have gone into preparing for those seminars. I first saw Herby in the Erie, PA Fieldhouse behind Nat Stuckey and he played for about a half hour before the show just warming up. Blew my mind seeing the range of material he played.
