A sincere suggestion: Instead of first, looking for tableture to "Lovely Hula Hands" why not sit down and attempt to pick out the tune "BY EAR"? Try it in your favorite tuning; C6th or E9th. Then, after you've got the idea of where it all lies, try it in the other tuning on the other neck, the one you don't like very well. Bewteen the two necks you will likely find the basic tune and from there you can start to build and enhance the melody line with whatever chords or runs appeal most to you. This is where YOUR creativity starts to grow. Quit worrying about how someone else did it (except for a given, tricky little riff or whatever) and set your own perameters. It's a little more difficult doing it this way but sure helps one get into the "insides" of any tunings'intracasies.

You could always dig up an Irish Song Book and look for "Lovely Hoolihan", an old Irish folk tune! (ha!)

George good one.

I'm pretty much blind 20/800 in left eye and 20/750 in my right eye. So having a tab to look at really helps me know where to start out instead of (Blindly literally)moving all over the fretboard trying to find what sounds like it might be a right note.

I like to use the tabs as a learning tool not to play it exactly like the tab but at least get a grasp of the tune and be able to find alot of the changes easier.

I'm good enough on guitar to figure out just about any song I wanna learn but on steel I need all the help I can get.
