Mandolin Selections in TablEdit

    Welcome to our TablEdit Mandolin page. 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 TablEdit Tabs...

        When you purchase tabs in TablEdit format via PayPal, they are emailed to you as attachments the same day your order is received and confirmed by PayPal. Because TablEdit tabs are emailed, there are no shipping charges. To open TablEdit attachments, it's necessary to download TablEdit's free tab viewer (called "TEFview") to your computer, if you haven't already done so. For download info, just click here.

        If you're not familiar with how TablEdit works, it is a software program and learning tool that enables you to see tabs on your computer screen and print them out, using a variety of fonts and type faces. You can also hear them played back in MIDI format at any tempo you wish, just by pressing the space bar on your keyboard.

Free 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. 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.

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 Mandolin and Guitar


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

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

One 29 minute CD demonstrates all mandolin and guitar 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.
