ROMANCE C6th Six String Lap Steel

A pretty melody from the Classical era.
The switch from minor to major creates a
nice "mucical feeling". Anomymous composer
thank you.

Sounds great Roy! I play this on classical guitar, and will have to tackle it on steel. Any tips on how you got the bass line/accompaniment going? It sounds very independent of the melody. Well done.

Dean,

I play this song on Classical Guitar as well.

Hope this works and will be of help.

Beautiful job on a beautiful tune Roy.

Thanks Roy, I already play this on guitar, I was wondering more about how you arranged it for steel. I mainly play out of A6, and have tackled the minor section already.
Thanks again mate.

Dean,

I use C6th and the Peice is in E Minor/Major as
you already know.

The major part on my tuning starts at Fret 4 or Home Base using strings 1 and 4.

On your A6th tuning you would begin at Fret 7 strings
2 and 5.

I hope that gets you started.
