Hello

I just found on my old hard disk the tablature of "On the Pipe" in Powertab format. It's not perfect (rhythm and tempo are wrong) but the notes are quite good.
If you want it, just PM me.

Thank you again Francois!!!!!

I've been wanting to see a tab of this song for years and years....and years....

Hello

For "On the Pipe", I have a good transcription that comes from the old Steve Morse fan site (the webmaster was an australian guy called Heath Barratt). I don't think this site still exists, but I will try to find the tab ... I believe it's on the hard disk of my old PC ... just give me time :eek:

I’d love this tab if you still have it!’ Thanks so much

Totally! Always have something to work on. I sit with the tunes slowed way down and play along. I'm always ecstatic when I can get some of the tougher passages ... but trying to put a whole tune of his together at tempo is exceedingly difficult.
I have performed Point Counterpoint, Take it off the top, Vista Grande, Country colors, Cabin Fever in public. A bunch of other songs will never reach "whole tune" status. (A man has got to know his limitations)

On the pipe is one of my favorite to play and I know I learned it incorrectly.
If there is a good version available for distribution then I raise my hand.

I really want to respect copyright for Steve

I also regret not buying the Tab Book for the Dregs Full Circle.

Yesterday my son said
"Daddy will you play guitar while I do my (virtual on line) Karate class?"
Just added that to my list of things to be thankful for.

On the Pipe is so killer.

Speaking of which ... anyone remember the Jimmy Herring version from GIT? Still kills me.

I found this guy making it look easy. He never makes eye contact with his hand. I can't do that.
Wow! Great find. That's amazing- he kills it and doesn't look like he's sweating at all. Some different positions than when I (weakly) try to play it.

Thanks Norm- I think I'm going to spend some time with that one.

Hello

A link on the PowerTab made by Heath Barratt (an Australian guy who made the first Steve Morse fan site, a long time ago ...) :

The tablature is not perfect : the rhythm is not good, the tempo is wrong ...
But the notes are quite good (perhaps the fingering are not the best ones).

Hope that helps !
