Doug, thanks so much for giving us that great tab for the X-mas song. I learned most of it last night and just ordered your new tab book on line. Just hope my wife doesn't report me as a missing person when I lock myself up in my music room when it gets here!

Hi Doug,
Many thanks for your time and effort to prduce the xmas song with tab & standard notation.Having the standard notation helps not only with timing but give one a better grasp of basic phrasing......

Thanks Frank, Mark, and others. Yes, the notes are very helpful. Even if a player does not know the pitch of the notes he can see the time value of the notes. The tablature And the notes together pretty much cover it all.There has been a lot of discussion on this forum in past years about notation as applied to the pedal steel guitar. Most PSG players agree that because there are so many locations on the fretboard to play the exact same note, reading notes for pedal steel is extremely difficult. Unlike a piano... middle C can be played in many locations, different strings, different frets, with or without pedals, with or without levers, etc. Some notes can be played in about 15 different locations. So I start by learning a melody on the first 5 frets or so, and then I play that same melody in another position, higher frets, experiment with different harmonies, different voicings, always keeping the melody note at the top of the voicing. Lloyd Green once described this process of putting together an arrangement. He said he looks for the smoothest way to play a phrase. That about says it all! There are many ways to play the same thing on steel, but we're all looking for the smoothest way IMHO. ------------------

Thanks Doug - another great arrangement. I played White Christmas and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen at a Christmas party last night and they were a smash hit.
Merry Christmas. |
