I don't see much here regarding six-string C6 lap steel instruction. What's the best? Hopefully, something that starts at beginner level, and progresses to intermediate, and includes some tab for standards----Sleepwalk, Walkin' After Midnight, Apache, Blue Eyes, and the like...

We are fortunate to have a lot of good C6th instructions.
For me, I got started off with Doug Beaumier's books. They are perfect for me because they are exceedingly well done, put on quality paper, large print, timing and everything is there and the songs progress from easy to challenging and the songs sound good. Doug's works gave me new steel guitar playing life.

I second the recommendation for Doug's books. Along with what has already been said the books are spiral bound allowing them to lay flat on the music stand.

There is tab and then there is learning to play and learning theory. For learning to play and learning theory I recommend Andy Volk's book and Mike Neer's Steelin' Modes and Scales.
For some good tab, look at Greg Cutshaw's lap steel arrangements. They are free and there are about six that are must haves for lap steel. There are just a few but they are just as good as anything with a price attached to it.

Scotty's books are good and will teach you a lot of useful things. As far as tab books for great sounding arrangements, I don't think Doug Beaumiers books can be beaten. They are beautifully printed, spiral bound and come with CD's with demos and background tracks. A steal at their prices and a must have for anyone playing this instrument. They are really pretty much song books with a little basic instruction, but you would be amazed how much you will pick up that you can use in your own arrangements when you get to that point.
