| Here's my beginner's question. Multiple notes on the same stem are played together. However, the tab for this shows different fret positions for the steel. So, do I play only the top fret position? |

| eerr yikes. Sounds like the tab is goofy.I'd have to see it to tell you for sure but, yeah usually two notes on a stem denote some sort of chords, triad, diad, etc. [This message was edited by AJ Azure on 30 December 2005 at 07:55 AM.] |

Thanks guys. I know a picture will clear this up, so I ran into this on page 26 of Scotty's "Basic C6th Non Pedal Lap Steel Method". It's the one that shows the Rick frypan on the old wooden folding chair on the cover.
The notes on the same stem are "E"above"C". Below that, the tab shows "4" above "3", strings 2&3. This basic stuff has me amniesasic. |

It's correct. 2 or more notes on a stem simply means that the notes should be played together in harmony. The C and E notes should be played at the same time, but they are on different frets just like the tablature shows. This requires using a bar slant...refer to page 96 for "slant bar" instructions. Hope this helps.

| Thanks Michael. I'll read ahead about bar slants. I have several tab sheets from Bill Chaviers and couldn't figure out how to practice some of them. Now I know a little bit more. Mahalo nui loa. |
