LeWalt Publishing - Guitar, 5-String Banjo and Mandolin Instruction - Harold Streeter





Travis Picking Selections

  All Travis picking guitar pieces include left-hand fingering, sustain, and tuning information. As you'll see in the "Recording" column, not all selections have been yet recorded, but were working on it. Please visit us occasionally for periodic updates.

  If you've not ordered from us before, how about trying a sample tab? Just choose any single tab from the following listings, and mail your choice along with $3.50 (to cover postage 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 full of technique and practice tips, and on how to read and get the most out of tablature.

Song Title Search

        If you'd like to do a quick search for a favorite song title, just press Ctrl-F on your keyboard and type in either a word or two of the title, or the complete title.

Demonstration Recordings (CDs only)

         
        "CD Not Available" in the "CD Demo Availability Status" column means the selection has not been recorded.

        "CD Available" in the "CD Demo Availability Status" column means the selection is now available on CD.         

        "TablEdit only" in the "CD Demo Availability Status" column means not only that the selection is not available on CD, but that the tab is available in TablEdit format only. With TablEdit tabs, no CD is necessary because you can hear the tabs played back on your computer just by pressing the space bar on your keyboard.


.mp3 Samples

                 To help you determine presentation and sound quality of our CD demonstrations, we've assembled a sampling of 30-40 sec .mp3s from the listings on this page for listening. Just click here, and then click on any of the titles you'd like to hear.

Ordering Tabs and CDs

         
        To order tabs and CDs from the following listing, 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), or how to make purchases online through PayPal, depending on your preference.

        Please note that tablature prices do not include the cost of CD recordings and that when purchasing recordings, the minimum order is 3 songs (see "How to Order" at the top of this page). Also, as our listings consist primarily of instrumental arrangements, lyrics are not included.
       

All of our tabs are now available in either Lewalt Publishing format or TablEdit format. Here are the differences between the two:

LeWalt Tabs and Reference Recordings:

1)    Tabs are available in hard copy only and are mailed to your postal address.
       The reason for hard copy tabs is that the LeWalt tab format is unique in that it
       features a timing display which is easier to read than that of “standard tab”,
       and it includes all left-hand fingering and sustain information, plus necessary
       right-hand information. Tab editing software is able to provide some of this
       information, but not all.

2)    Reference recordings are on CD only. This means you get to hear real instruments        demonstrating the songs you order.

(To insure quality materials, we prefer to not scan tabs or e-mail recordings.)

TablEdit Tabs and Reference Recordings:

1)    Tabs may be e-mailed to you. After purchasing tabs from us through PayPal, we
       instantly email your tab order.

2)    Reference recordings are MIDI only with sound quality dependent on your
       computer’s sound card and sound system.

3)    Selections which include the term “TablEdit only” in the “CD Demo Availability
       Status”column are available at the moment only as TablEdit files.

4)    As tabs are emailed, there are no shipping and handling charges.

If you don’t have TablEdit on your computer, just click here for more info.
