I am interested in anything that includes

1.) either or both of the levers furthest to the right.
2.) use of flatted 3rds
3.) C pedal

My need for tab is focused on what I need to develop and expand skills.

More Information

Post by John A. Russell »

James

I would need to know a bit more to help you.
Are you a PSG beginner?
Do you have a basic knowledge of what all your pedals
and levers do, in constructing chords?
For example.

A flattened third is a minor chord and simple use of the A pedal will form a minor chord.

Once I know your skill level, I will try and put something together for you.

John, I play a lot of instruments. I am not that bad on steel. I can play just about anything, not great but decent.

I always come up with my own chops but use tab mostly to save time and avoid reinventing the wheel.

So, in practicing, I am always trying expand the steel into areas outside the genres where it is most often used. I am also always trying to make more use of pedals and levers that are often neglected. I play a lot of blues and that is where the flatted 3rd comes in.

I use a flatted 3rd in single note runs more than anywhere else. The only steel player I have heard do this much at all is Ron Elliot and he doesn't do it all that often. Mostly with tab I just study how other folks make sounds I am interested in. I wouldn't want you or anyone else to write tab just for my purposes.

But, yes if it already has what I need in it, I would like to have it.

Mostly I use tab to develop skills and that has some of what I am working on in it. For me it works better to play through licks as they are played in context than to get an academic understanding of the concept ahead of time.

Thanks

James

Hey All

Thanks for your comments.

I have added several more titles to my list.
Three old standards that work well with PSG, by Nat King Cole
and Dean Martin as well as the great gospel track, "How Great Thou Art", to a backing track I bought from John Hughey. (awhile ago)

I will try and release one tab per month, so as not to become stale.

The Gospel track for this month, "One Day At A Time" (Sweet Jesus) has not proved popular with you guys, so I will maybe release an old standard, for May

Kind Regards

John, I had asked for Crying from you, and it was out. I sent a PM to Don Kuhn, asking if he'd send me a copy. You said he could if I sent $10.00 donation to the Forum. I did, and the Forum told me to Thank you for the idea. So I', doing that. Thanks.

One vote for "How Great Thou Art", as it has been one of my favorites for more years than I care to remember. It was my late Dad's favorite as well.

Come on folks, need 9 more votes please!
