Here’s a stab at transcribing Buddy’s seminal performance of “Wichita Lineman ” from the 1970 album “Suite Steel” with a 3x3 setup.

If you can lower your 6th string a half tone, you can make the transition from G to Gm in measure 5 at the 3rd fret, which is going to be lot smoother than what I did here – but, hey, not everyone has that change.

Click HERE for the entire song.

Click HERE for the audio to the tab below.





Added 1/17/2021: Here's the intro for "Lineman" using the 6th string whole-tone lower (I call it the "G" lever in a 4x4 setup).

Hi Frank and fellow players,

This thread and post is pretty old - any chance you still have the entire song tabbed out? The "click here" link below has expired. I'd also be willing to pay a fair price for the time put into it.

Thanks!

Hey William -

Log in, do a Search in Tablature using keyword “lineman” and you should be able to access all the tabs you need.
