Guy Cundell · From: More idle ramblings from South Australia

Here's a solo arrangement of David Gates 'If" that I did some years ago that some folks here might enjoy.

Very nice, Guy ! Smile

I'll try this one on my dobro.
Maybe you could post this one (also) in the tablature section.

Thanks Jeff and Burt. This is from a few years back but I remember struggling with the m7b5 chord in bar 7. It is not an easy chord for steel players without Murphey's tuning. The tab requires you to play the 5th string with the heel of the bar while keeping the nose of the bar up so that you can play the open 3rd string, then dropping the bar at a slant to fret the third string at the 5th string, all the while keeping the 5th string ringing. Not an easy manoeuvre but necessity is the mother of invention.
