Well, here goes, my first attempt to post tab.
This is in key of C just as original. Arranged for standard E9 tuning. The first 4 measures are in 4/4 and this section is played 2x. Then the remaining 16 bars are in 3/4 time. Good blocking technique is very important. The piece is a good exercise in playing 2 moving lines. Play just the bottom, just the top, then both.
It is played almost entirely at the 8th fret. Watch the grips...

John, nice! Do you know the name of the chorale? According to my 371 chorales, #7 is a different tune from this one.

Hi Dan,
My source for this is a book containing "371 Harmonized Chorales and 69 Chorale Melodies (with figured bass)by Johann Sebastian Bach". This song is #7 of the 69 Chorale Melodies, titled: "Eius ist noth! ach Herr, dies eine".
Hope that helps.
The 371 have 4 voices. The 69 have only 2, making them interesting to work out on the steel.
John

Hi John,

thanks for sharing this

I hope you can sort out the timing numbers, as I for one am not familiar with this piece, hence need the timing!!

I've added the timing measure by measure at the bottom of the tab.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
I'll get it right next time............
