Tabulator For A Special Song

Post by Timothy Kelly Sr »

I am new to the 6 string steel guitar. I am still practicing with Troy's educational lessons for C6 tuning. I would like to learn “Can't Help Falling In Love” by Elvis. This song has a special meaning for my wife and I. I would like to supersize her by playing it for her some day soon.

Does anyone have the single note tabulator for this song on a 6 string lap steel with C6 tuning. Or even a Word document with the string and fret to use. I tried using the base note of a guitar chord from a chord tabulator sheet, but that did not work very well.

I have the backing track for the song. I have watched several YouTube videos, but I do not know tuning they are using, not can I determine what fret they are on due to the camera angle. There is one video by Kawamura Seiji that is just outstanding. I will probably never play it that good, but I would love to try.

My email address is: tmkelly49@gmail.com

Thank you for any response to my request.

That is the YouTube video that I watched. I read though the comments and noted it's Open D tuning. However, I have not a clue what frets he is playing on.

Help!
