I did Tablature on Tom Morell's Rosetta
several months ago along with an MP3
which I recorded using an 8 string Resonator
tuned C6th E--C--A--G--E--C--A--G High/Low
If someone can post the tab I will gladly send it to them. This is a great old Bob Wills song.
My MP3 includes Backup with steel then just backup so you can play along when learned.

Thanks for the tab on one of my favorite tunes. Isn't this tune one of Earl "Fatha" Hines's? I think Wills played it in part because he had a daughter with that name. I seem to recall a version where he sings a rather unintelligible version.

Yes, Pete I heard the Bob Wills version
and like you I had a problem hearing it right. It could have been the recording was
very old, mid forties maybe?
Tom Morell's playing of it made a lot more sense to me.

I agree, Roy. Did he play that on that 10 string E13 tuning?
I also have a very nice recording of that tune by Bobby Koefer, which I think is played on his E13 neck - hopefully, he put his version on his new CD, which is supposedly out soon.

It is my understanding that Tom used his E13th for Rosetta. High to Low:
G#--F#--E--C#--B--G#--F#--E--D--E
More of us use C6th for the swing stuff and
that's why I modified the arrangement keeping
in mind that it allows the Lap Steeler even with 6 strings to learn the song also.
