I am Kobus Meiring, a pedal steel guitar player from South Africa. We are'nt many over here, so tab for steel is not really available. I am looking for an instrumental version in tab for "Tennessee Waltz" for E9th pedal steel. If possible, it must me quite dynamic, not just a version loaded with simple easy notes. If I can give an example, back in 1978 (I think) Anne Murray had a version, and there was a steel turnaround in it that was superb. (To this day I could still not figure out who the steel player was). That is a good example for how the rest of the song should sound as an instrumental too. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can find tab for this song?

Herby Wallace has a great version of it tabbed out. It is on his instructional material called "ten tunes for the Pedal steel". As with everything Herby does, the whole package is tastefully and accurately done. Check out his web site.

Kobus,
Here's the tab for the solo in Anne Murray's version of the song. It's in the key of E. "L" means 1/2 tone lower. "R" means 1/2 tone raise. "~" means slide or pedal into the notes. "~~" means slide, but pick the next notes. The beat count is on the 10th string. By the way, the third note in the leadin is interesting in that there is a dissonance between the 2nd string and the 5th string - at least, that's what I hear.
