Hi Jerry, I was working on this tune a few months ago, but put it down and never finished it. I did it for C6/A7th, so the low C string is tuned up to C# like Jerry Byrd.

The notation is a bit confusing on one of the tricks used throughout the arrangement... in the second bar, you play:
5
x
5
and then slant the bar up to :
7
x
5
Keeping the lower string ringing, for a pseudo pedal steel effect.

Also, In the bar 7, I am using the tip of my bar to play the note on the C string, then, keeping it ringing, I play the open strings around it, then slide it down to the first fret.
Haven't played it again since, but I remember finding it a little tricky, but very pretty.

Hope it can be of some use :)

Hi Jerry,
I have Faded Love tabbed out for C6th lap steel. Send me your "snail mail," and I'll get you a copy. Best of luck with the steel guitar.
