Steve,
Unless I'm reading you incorrectly, you're looking for "Open G" or "Taro Patch" -- most of the collections of TAB have been reviewed on this site and are found in the Books, Instruction sec. Typically any slack key collection will have at least a couple of tunes in Taro Patch, as it is one of the most basic and versatile of our tunings. Look there and you will find just about all that's available. If you're new to slack key, I would suggest you get Ozzie Kotani's book & CD. Kahumoku's DVD is also great for people relatively new.
Beyond what's posted, there are a few sources - Keola Beamer's website has a few things in the "On Line Learning." Mark Hansen has one or two on his site. There's even 1 or 2 in the Acoustic Guitar Magzine archives. Other than that, it's trading off with other players or taking lessons from a teacher who has TAB.
Anyone else know any other resources?

Raymond is referring to Keoki Kahumoku's DVD, not George's (for beginners).

Actually I was referring to Freiderich Witold Kahumoku's classical study of slack key in the last half of the 19th century entitled, "Macadamias and Mellow Music: A Study of Nut Pickers and Pickin' Nuts."

You can download TablEdit's free 'TEFview' from http://www.tabledit.com/download/downlo_e.shtml . Go into the Tablature section, and in the Free Tab Archive you'll find a Folklore section that a few traditional songs. I used this to get familiar with some vamps and rythms until my books came in 
Since then it's been listen, learn, listen, learn .....
Cheers!

| Are you looking for something in particular or are you just trying to build up a collection? |

TAblEdit FREE download is a DEMO. But, the full version is fantastic, Keith the owner is very responsive to emails helping you get stared. After you create a TablEdit song you can convert to ASCII and upload a link at this forum or any site to share. TablEdit will allow you to assign specific tunings to the Tab lines (strings) so as you compose on the tab is will be in Taro or C Wahine or whatever.
Send Keith an email and talk to him. No, I don't work for the company.

Yes, perhaps I didn't clarify.
TablEdit is a demo, which you can use to create tablature files. But to just see TableEdit files, TEFView is free.
Personally I use Power Tab, which is also free, to create tablatures although it's a little buggy and harder to navigate, especially when cutting and pasting parts of songs together. I'd stop short of recommending it if you're not the patient type to climb up it's learning curve. I haven't tried to use TablEdit for writing tabs. How is it?
Cheers!

| TablEdit is excellent for writing tabs...easy learning curve too. I've tried pretty much all the tab programs out there and TablEdit is my favorite. (PowerTab would probably come in second.) |

I use MuseEdit and reasonably satisfied with it --
Anybody able to compare the TablEdot and/or PowerTab with MuseEdit?
Thanks

With another group I post and read with, we sometimes invite the manufacturer of a product (usually a software synth) to come on the forum and give specifics related to the topic. Sometimes they show up and sometimes they don't. When they do, it often is very educational. What do you think Andy?
Should I send a note to Keith at TablEdit and see if he'll join us here?

I'm sorry you feel that way and have had trouble with it. From using the two (both PowerTab and TablEdit) I much prefer PowerTab and also go to it first. From the first time I used it (PowerTab) I found it to be extremely intuitive and putting tabs together was an absolute piece of cake. I also prefer the display for playback over TablEdit by a long shot.
I'm still puzzled by the "learning curve" comment.
All in all, I guess I'm canceling out your review with my opinion that it's easy-to-use, intuitive and much cleaner in appearance (again... my opinion only). I state my opinion only for the reason that I'd hate to see someone get turned away from using the PowerTab product.
And "no" for me too... I don't work for either company.
I should probably include what I like about PTab as well. The interface is nice, and the layout is really nice. I think the playback sounds closer to a guitar, and superior to TablEdit's playback mode. Good help files, too.
But simple, repetitive tasks that I shouldn't have to do manually (like going to a next section) work my nerves. And even if I had to do it manually, I'd like to be able to do it with keystroke. It bunches up the tab, and then it's a mess trying to cut/paste to a new line.
I'd like to have all the time measures pre-set, instead of having to add them every few notes. The cut/paste often just 'moves' notes across time measures or sometimes doesn't even copy the time measures when I try to pre-set. It's probably the one thing that makes me cringe using it, as I'd like to just cut/paste bass lines throughout, and get all salty when I have to go back and manually adjust them all.
Maybe this is something I could set up, but after about doing 30 songs with it, maybe my learning curve is just steeper than most LOL. I guess recommending not to try it is a little strong, since it is freely available, and everyone should have thier own experience with it.
I'd like to post what I have on my webpage, but I can never tell if something like Isa Lei, the Queen's Jubilee, or He 'Ai Na Kalani are public domain. And even if the melody is PD, then what about the versions I'm learning from (like Ozzie) which I'm sure aren't...
Cheers!
