Rick posted the audio down below with Bruce Clarks blessing (thanks Rick).
You need to listen to the recording to get the phrasing and gliss's (really swinging). F#9 is low to high = F#, A#, E, G#, C#, E . It's The same as C#m7 that Sol Hoppii used alot on electric, it's just the two lowest notes on C#m7 are E, B instead of F#, A#.

Some of the voicings can be made fatter on some of the 2 note groups (3rd and 4th box's of tab on the first page), it's up to you. I myself put everything in 3 note groupings now instead of 2 on the 3rd and 4th box of tab, first page (I'll fix it later). I need to get the girls I jam with to scan and repost the picture of the tab, lol. Enjoy!

*This is the stuff Jerry Bryd cut his teeth on and I can see alot of things JB ended up doing coming from the playing of Dick McIntire. JB's "Steelin the Blues" has some trick bar tech that I can see in "Twilight Blues".

Is it necessary to be in F#9 for this song, as opposed to C#m?

Also, I'm ordering Bruce Clarke's "Play Along with the Hawaiian Hotshots" instructional CD. Does anyone know of any additional instructional material in this style, with C#m7/E6, F#9, and E7 tunings?

Dobro         F#9
G   down to    F#
B   down to    A#
D   up   to    E
G   up   to    G#
B   up   to    C#
D   up   to    E

Nothing has to be adjusted greater than a whole step and the overall string tension is slightly harder than hi-G. Standard acoustic guitar strings would suit this tuning nicely.

Mis dos centavos.

Have you got that hard kinda dimminshed show off bouncing three note licks down yet, they are kinda hard but sound great.

I'll be lucky to get that down in half-time by next Christmas.

followed by the straight 10th fret bar is a wonderful sound (the Beatles feature a similar move in the song "Because"). I think the octave lines are easy to attempt, difficult to get right - they really emphasize the importance of keeping the bar parallel to the frets.

This Box of Tab replaces the 4th Box of Tab on the first page by replacing all the 2 note voicings with 3 note voicings, which I like better.

Jesse, have you considered the above for the last phrase on page 1 box 3?  
* The above correction by Scott should also replace the end of "box 12, page #2", you'll see what I mean (Jesse Pearson).

This below sounds better to me for the beginning phrase of box 4 that follows:
10--8--10--8--6-----------------
9---8--9---8--6--8--7--6--3--1--
8---8--8---8--6--8--7--6--3--1--
-----------------8--7--6--3--1--
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
 

I think Scott has nailed this song with all his corrections and I've changed my tab to reflect this. Thanks Scott

I'll be re-doing this entire song in Power Tab when all the corrections have been made. Thanks Craig for the info!

Most of this old time Hawaiian stuff is not in old time Hawaiian style tab. It would really be great if some of SGF members with good ears to hear the notes and chords would collaborate with some good old Hawaiian Tabs.

I am already making progress on playing the "Twilight Blues" Tab by Jesse, and enjoying it immensely.

I believe the more we play this old stuff, the better we pick up the Hawaiian "sound".

Agreed. I just added the tab to Sweet Corn, Jerry Byrd's C6 "flagship."

Hope you guys/gals find it useful.

Craig.

I got through Jesse's tab Ok without the breakdown of the measures, but working out the correct rythym and measures will be helpful for those not aquainted with "Twilight Blues".

Thanks to all of you pitching in on the TABs. It is meaningful work which promotes some of the purposes of SGF.

Aloha,
Don
