The Steel Guitar Forum

Thank for watching and the nice comments! I appreciate it! I just added 19 clips from day two. I marked them Day One and Day Two. (Click the above link...) We had so much fun! I hope we can hook up again sometime! Once again, let me know which ones you liked! Stay well, y'all... https://bb.steelguit...

Hey, kids; I had the distinct pleasure to perform with one of my 6-string heroes, Redd Volkaert and Sirius Radio guy, Dallas Wayne at the Minnesota State Fair August 28th & 29th. It was a blast! I finally uploaded 11 video clips of the first day. Let me know what you think and which ones you lik...

I'll be playing steel guitar with Dallas Wayne & Redd Volkaert at the Minnesota State Fair Monday & Tuesday, the 28th & the 29th, (today & tomorrow). Al Stumpf will be on drums. We'll play two forty five minute sets, 3:45 and 4:45 each day. Classic country music! Stop by and say &quo...

For many, many years I've been simply unplugging the cord from the steel and plugging it into the guitar. I've tweaked the tone to where they both sound okay. (You could have an EQ pedal to turn on for one guitar). SYK: You have to have a volume pedal that turns all the way off or it'll make the plu...

If you're talking about the guitar fills in the first verse, it's Phil Baugh most likely using the built-in phase shifter in the Peavey Session 500. Using pedal 5 on his 6 pedal Peavey guitar. (It raises the note a whole step). His first lick... [tab] 3__________________0_____________ 4_____________...

This guitar? Reverb.com guitar

You could be right, too!

Although I was listening for the electric guitar licks, Buddy Emmons playing "Rose City Chimes" on the Ernest Tubb Midnite Jamboree album is likely the first time I knowingly acknowledged steel guitar. Even though I didn't go down the rabbit hole until a friend who ran the music store wher...

Hey, Mike! Good to see you! Wow, it's been a long time!

Clem is THE guy!

Stay well...

He and I did discuss 'which guitar' at times, but I never got a full list. He played several different steels. (Emmons, Carter, MCI, EMCI, Derby or Sierra and who knows what else...) Buddy could tell by what and how he played. We were driving and I had a Step One CD of Ray Price and Faron Young play...

Ron;

Go to like 1:30 in the Dickens Video. I don't think Keith was talking about the harmony sections. A GREAT solo by the Big E!


(Of course, I could be wrong...)

It's my pleasure! Glad you like it!

I just don't get over here very much these days...

"The Nashville Scene". Not "That Nashville Music". You guys...

Hey, gang! Does anybody out there have copies of the TV show, “The Nashville Scene” ? The show ran weekdays 5:30 am - 6:00 am for 12 weeks, 60 episodes, running from Monday, 1/2/78, to Friday, 3/24/78. Grady Martin & Buddy we’re the band leaders. If you do or know where I can find copies, let me...

There's a couple...







Not sure what's up here. I'm not seeing the images. If you are, great. If not, right click and open them in a new ta.

Robert; I don’t remember exactly when, (guessing 81-82) but I’m relatively sure we recorded it at the Soundshop Studio in Nashville. Side A Ansley Fleetwood - piano (session leader) Buddy Emmons - steel Sid Hudson - guitar Henry Stryzlecki - bass Billy Reynolds - drums Side B added me on steel. Budd...

That certainly could’ve been where it came from…

I met Red Hayes when he was with Faron Young and saw him again later with Mel Tillis. Great player!

Years ago there was some issue with a website page. Buddy called me to tell me about it, but I wasn’t home. He left a message on my answer machine. (He joined me in a tune we recorded in the early 80’s called “Dirty Ernie Rag”. As I had been called that since the 70’s.) The message started with Budd...

Buddy’s birth certificate said “Betty Jean” until he was around 17 and was planning to get married, but because he was underage he needed permission to marry from his folks. It was then that the error was noticed and legally corrected. So until he was 17 his legal name was Betty Jean Emmons . Pete’s...

The audio wasn't there anymore. Chris, if you could send me a copy, I'd like that.

HERE is the tab for "Greensleeves" from Buddy's Guitar Player column from way back then.

I’d probably never use it, but I had planned to buy it. Just haven’t heard from Jim. It’s three Emmons Fuzz Machines in one box and has individual pickups for each unit. It has the octave switch like the Fuzz. I’m fairly sure it runs on three 9v batteries. Likely has a power supply, as well. Buddy m...

Jim;

Where you at?

Jim,

I’m certainly interested. Send me an email: ernie@buddyemmons.com

Merry Christmas!

PM’d about picks. If they’re still available, I’ll take them.
