I have both of those songs tabbed out. $2 each plus postage.
I have "Steel Guitar Rag" available in two keys, E and G.

Greg, I checked out your Sleep Walk tab, and even as a beginner, I was able to very easily understand it, so I cannot wait to try it out. Thank you.

I had originally recorded Sleep Walk (see video below) using JoeDocMusic’s instructional ‘lap‘ steel video, not realizing (that was my pre-beginner phase) that it would be played differently on ‘pedal’ steel, and now I want to add some of the pedal steel slurs shown in your tab.

One question about your tab. There are two spots on page 1 where you have the following:

4] ..... 3 --- 1
5] ... 3A --- A

Should string 5 be 3A --- 1A, or is that a notation of which I am not yet aware?

Here is my video using the lap steel tab. One thing you should know, it is played on a Pedal Steel Keytar (but that is a whole ‘nother story). :-)

Now that I am trying out Greg’s tab, I think the correction should be:

4] ..... 3 --- 3
5] ..... 3 --- 3A

The reason I say that is because my ‘lap’ steel tab has the progression in Greg’s Part A (page 1) as chords D/A min, E/B min, F/C min, and E/B min, so the above 4th interval in Greg’s tab should resolve to EG (i.e., E/B min without the B).

I hope someone is listening, and can verify this before I get too far along with the song.

BTW, I already changed my first chord (D/A min) in that progression to the following, and it sounds great ... just like a pedal steel should. Thank you Greg. This tab is just what I needed. :-)

4] ..... 1 --- 1
5] ..... 1 --- 1A
6] ..... 1 --- 1

I realize that, Ricky. That is why I posted here. I was looking for E9th Sleep Walk tablature for my pedal steel guitar emulator.
