Tablature for Lap Steel Guitar by David J. Stewart

 This is an awesome Hawaiian song played on the B11th tuning. You are listening to me play Hana in the background. I recorded this with a $99 Artisan lap steel and a BOSS-BR600, using guitar effect #74. Here's the basic tab of what I play...

Rhythm track for Hana 
(most of the steel guitar is removed)

Here's a very nice BB track in the same key of C as the tabs (great percussion).

Here's the same BB track, but 3 tones higher in the key of Eb instead.

Here's Johnny Pal playing Hana on a non-pedal D-8 Fender steel guitar, which will give you a lot of ideas for variations you can play. . .
