Travis Picking Collections
For TablEdit Users



         All of our Travis picking guitar collections in TablEdit format consist of more recent tabs - primarily arrangements not currently available on CD. If you're familiar with TablEdit's features, you know you can play back any tab at any tempo you wish in MIDI, either for initially discerning timing, or for playing along. Although it's true that guitars do not sound like real instruments in MIDI, this feature alone makes TablEdit an invaluable learning tool.

To Order Collections:
    Because TablEdit tabs are emailed, there are no shipping charges to contend with. If you pay for your tabs online with PayPal, we receive confirmation of your order within minutes and your tabs are emailed to you the same day.

To Order Individual Tabs:
    As with the other tabs in collections on the web site, tabs may be purchased individually if you prefer not to order complete collections. Individual tab prices are shown to the right of each song title in the collections.

    For more about ordering, click on the "How to Order" link at the top of this page and read through the info. Next, either click on the PayPal link for online purchases, or click on the ready-to-print order form link located near the top of the How to Order page for paying by check or money order.

    Please note that as our listings consist primarily of instrumental arrangements, lyrics are not included.
