The Jeff Beck is perfect. Here's my cover, inspired by the Jeff Beck version. I went through the JB tab in GW a couple years ago,
Nice job Eddie! I like it. Thanks for sharing. Now I want a lap steel too.
You don't happen to have a scanner do you?
Hey, thanks man! I do have a flatbed scanner, but it's not hooked up at present....you mean for copying the tab? Cause, there's really not much to it, Beck basically sticks to the melody and makes sure to hit a tasteful few chord-defining notes, using his superior whammy skills to mimic a 10 string Fender multi-course steel guitar(s) set up. There are a couple different Santo & Johnny live clips on YT that I looked at to see if I could learn anything, and a bunch of lap steel players' covers to see how they appoached it. The biggest revelation to me was finding the C6 tuning, (You're taught to use I V I III V I). C6 (I III V VI I III), lets you hit much more convincing minor chords, plus the majors, and the slick-sounding 6ths.
I've been meaning to PM you about Fayetteville, I grew up there, we might have a few mutual aquaintences. ( More likely, your dad & I might have a few mutal aquaintences, lol.)
You can believe me because, I never lie, and I'm always right.
