American steeler Erv Niehaus has literally hundreds of tunes tabbed out by himself. They cost $2 plus postage, and Erv doesn't send out digital copies - only hard copies through the post. I have just ordered a specific tune for one of my pupils via PayPal, and the postage was very reasonable. To me this means that Erv is charging the genuine cost that he pays, and is not adding anything on top which I suspect that some of the guys in the States have done in the past.

If anyone is interest in receiving lists of Erv's stuff, just send me an email and I will send them back lists of his tabs by return.

Erv's tabs are great for beginner/intermediate skills. I find them always to be playable and accurate. Very reasonably priced, too.
Harping back to Ken's other current thread on practice time, it is Erv's tabs that occupy most of my playing time. They are great fun, and I reckon a good part of my (limited) ability on psg is down to Erv.
His tabs are highly recommended.

I ordered several tabs from Erv as well, they seem very accurate to me, the one thing one should be aware of is that they are very much chord based, so full grips it is, of course it is up to the reader/player to omit certain strings to get a less full sound if that's what's preferred (for me it is). This also make them great as learning material. Very reasonably priced and quick delivery.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
I have done approx. 2,000 tabs for the E9th tuning.
Over half of those are gospel tabs and the remaining are divided between
Classic Country, Old Standards and Hawaiian.
As some of the prior postings have stated, my style is a "chordal style".
Most of my tabs consist of full, three finger grips.
I started out over 60 years ago on lap steel, then graduated to console steel
and finally graduated to pedal steel, primarilly so I could get full, three string chords.
I have sent tabs to over 1,800 pedal steel players located all over the world including
Tasmania!
Keep steelin!

Hi Derek. I don't have the list with me at the moment as it is on my main PC at home. I'm currently at Heathrow Airport waiting for a flight to the States. When I get home in a fortnight I will wing a list off to you.

Best wishes
Ken

Hi Derek
You can find Erv's tabs on the US Forum under the For Sale Music etc tab.
Erv's stuff is great. It's what got me playing (if that's what it is I do).
