Don Helms - Your Cheatin' Heart - Steel Guitar Songbook (Book + Online Audio)

"If you're like me, you've spent many hours listening to Don Helms' solos on Hank Williams records, trying to get them just right. Well, here's some good news. Don has tabbed out all of those hits and assembled them into one book. Each song is played as a steel guitar instrumental, complete with the classic signature hooks and fills.  The accompanying ONLINE AUDIO has two versions of each song - one with Don Helms playing the steel part, and the other as a rhythm track, so that you can perform the steel part yourself.  Don plays an 8 string E13th tuning, but this course can be also played on just the top six strings (E6th): E G# B C# E G# (low to high). The sound is high and lonesome, and instantly familiar."  ~ Bobby Lee founder of the Steel Guitar Forum and 2010 Inductee to the European Steel Guitar Hall of Fame

The long awaited songbook of one of the most popular players of all time. These ten tunes are among the most popular songs sung by Hank Williams. The Tab and audio features the intro, backup behind the singer, the turn around and the ending of each song. You will be surprised that Don never used the E13th tuning as we know it. He had the 7th and 8th strings tuned to C# and A, and he never once used a slant bar position! The solo book can be played on the 6 or 8 string guitar as Don never used the 7th and 8th strings in this book. Includes access to online audio containing every tune and backup for each. The audio was recorded by Don Helms.
