Flat Pick Guitar Tabs and CD Demos

    This page consists of listings for flat pick guitar tabs available in LeWalt format with CD demonstration recordings.

  • For additional flat pick guitar tabs available in TablEdit format (over twice as many as listed below), click here.

  • Looking for a special song title? Do a quick song search by holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard together with the "F" key, then type in a word or two of the song title in the box that appears, and press ENTER.

    Meanwhile, please read through the following info about our listings...

  • Purchasing Tabs and CD demos in LeWalt format...

            The LeWalt tab format is unique in that it features a timing display that is easier to read than that of "standard" tab. Also, all left-hand fingering and sustain information, plus necessary right-hand information is included for every tab.

            Tabs in LeWalt format may be purchased from the following listings either with or without CD demos. All such orders are shipped in hard copy form to your postal address.

  • For more info about the differences between LeWalt and TablEdit tab formats, click here.
  • Tab and CD Demo Prices...

           Tablature prices do not include the cost of CD demo recordings. Please add $2.00 to the tablature price for each CD demo you wish to order.

    When purchasing CD demos, the minimum order is 3 songs.

            For more information about ordering tabs and CDs from the following listings, please click on the "How to Order" link at the top of this page and read through all of the ordering info, including how to make purchases by check or money order (you'll find a handy ready-to-print order form link), and on how to make purchases online through PayPal, depending on your preference.

    MIDI Tab Samples...

            To hear a MIDI sample of any selection in the following listings, click on the order number shown at the left of the selection. Although the samples are derived from TablEdit arrangements, they also serve as samples of LeWalt tab arrangements. Just like the tab arrangements themselves, most of the samples include guitar and bass accompaniment so that you may hear the arrangements in their usual context. The samples usually consist of the first 8 to 20 measures, depending on tab length, but are occasionally taken from other sections of the tabs that are more representative of song identity.

    Hard Copy Tab Samples...

            If you'd like to order a hard copy sample tab to be mailed to your postal address, just choose any single tab from the following listings and mail your choice along with $3.50 to cover shipping and handling, to: LeWalt Publishing, 4930 E Horsehaven Ave, Post Falls, Idaho 83854 U.S.A. Included with your sample tab will be a booklet of technique and practice tips, which also includes sections on how to read and get the most out of tablature.

    Song Descriptions and Histories...

            If you've visited us before, you may have noticed that most of the listings now include additional info in the song descriptions. The reason for its inclusion is that I believe on some level, knowing as much as possible about a song's origin and history in terms of when it was written and/or recorded, and by whom, helps us perform it better. Of course, maybe it's just a story I tell myself, and in reality it doesn't help much at all...

    TENNESSEE WALTZ
    A Duet for Guitar and Mandolin


    This arrangement is designed for flat pick guitar and mandolin players to play as a duet. Guitarists get to play the verse and chorus melodies at basic level in lower octave, verse and chorus melodies at intermediate level in upper octave, and verse and chorus harmony sections designed to harmonize with the mandolin melodies at basic level. Mandolinists on the other hand, also get to play verses and choruses in two octaves, plus verse and chorus harmony designed to harmonize with the guitar melodies.

    In the event you don't have a mandolin player handy, it's not necessary to purchase the two arrangements together.

    One 29 minute CD demonstrates all guitar and mandolin sections on 5 tracks in this manner: Track 1 - Guitar lead, Track 2 - Mandolin lead, Track 3 - Mandolin and Guitar in Harmony, Track 4 - Mandolin and Guitar leads with rhythm guitar, and Track 5 - Rhythm guitar only.
