Release Me - Jay McDonald Version

[Ashley D\'Silva]

Hi fellow members,

I am urgently looking for a TAB of "Release Me" by Jay McDonald. Can anyone help Please!

I do have various copies of other that are Very Good versions but regret I need one by Jay McDonald at this time.

Your assistance is much appreciated.

Best wishes

Ashley

Hi Guys,

Has anyone any idea to my plea? I would sincerely love the TAB. Have been on this Wonderful Site for years but never heard mention of this TAB.

Can someone please help??

A bump for a great steeler that flies under the radar, Jay McDonald!

This tune definitely has a tricky melody to just pull out of your hat. Another one is "Rudolph the red nose Reindeer."
I've messed them both up more than once. RP

Still waiting, hoping, praying that someone will make available the TAB for this most unusual version.

Make comment...advice...good reason....suggestion why the TAB may NOT be available.

I am, as always, forever in your debt friends so please HELP if you can.

I'm working on it, 1 + 1/2 Choruses are done, but i'm going to be pretty busy the upcoming days...
All sounds pretty familiar and easy here, but of course it is not(at least for me...)
I experienced a bunch of unusual string-skips and lot's of Mooneyisms...
This tune was on a long term To-Do-List, so this was a good opportunity to get it started!

I finally made the 1st part up to the fiddle break.
Tabbed it out on U-12 tab, but only strings 1 to 8 are needed for now.
I'm glad for any corrections or suggestions!

A star...genius, wonderful man. Thanks Markus for your very selfless efforts.
It is gentlemen such as you who make me continue as a member of this fabulous website.

Once again, my sincere thanks..friend.

Very nice work, Markus!!

[Markus Mayerhofer]

Thank you very much,
i had fun, and i find it quite revealing what you can do with only 3 pedals (no levers so far...).
Hearing and guessing how it might be played is the fun part, but I have to admit I had a hard time writing it all down.
Maybe there is an easier, but still accurate way to notate all these ornaments and gracenotes....
Any suggestions...

Classic Bakersfield Sound and in my opinion, the best instrumental rendition of "Release" Me on record, including Mooney's
