Lonesome On'ry and Mean licks by Ralph Mooney
Hey all! Here are some great Mooney licks I gleaned from the studio recording of Waylon's "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean" I transcribed the very fist lick at :09 and then the entire verse starting at 1:59.
Here's a video of the first lick and it's breakdown, plus the performance of the entire 2nd verse and Chorus!

I love Ol' Moon's work on Waylon's albums. Always will. He's right up there with the late Buddy Emmons who, for a time, played some steel guitar with the late Danny Gatton at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA as one of the Redneck Jazz band members. I've got a CD of the June 10, 1988 set that someone sent me and I absolutely love hearing the interplay between Gatton and Emmons.
I often wonder how (or if) Moon would have fit in with Gatton's playing or whether Gatton even knew who Ralph was?
I believe that the last CD appearance of Mooney was on Marty Stuart's "Ghost Train: The Studio B Sessions" CD way back in 2010....golly, it don't seem like it's been that long.

Thanks everybody for the kind words. I like Mooney cause he's got really cool rhythmic ideas, and his approach and style is real unique, and he seems to always stick in a fair amount of the blues, he's just Mooney! I think comparisons to Emmons always happen. But, I just don't know enough about Emmons work to have a strong opinion. I've only dabbled in Buddy's stuff, and for whatever reason I've always felt Mooney has been more accessible to me, could be due to my level of expertise at this time. They just seem totally different, really incredible, and have a very unique style, and that's my two cent's on that subject!

Jeff,
Thanks for posting your TAB and link to your tutorial. I enjoyed both.
Back in the early 90's I was a member of a honky-tonk band, named the Wildsiders. The Wildsiders covered Steve Young's song, "Lonesome On'ry and Mean". We covered it mainly because the bass player, and singer of the song was a huge Waylon fan.
I shared the solo with the lead guitarist. However, I wasn't thinking of Mooney's approach to this song. I was thinking of Emmons, as the first version of this song that grabbed my ear was Steve Young's version from his 1975 album, Renegade Picker which featured the Big E playing "The Blade".
Anyhoo, just for grins, here are Waylon's version of the song and then Steve Young's version from Renegade Picker.
Waylon:

NOTE: The Steve Young link is to my SoundCloud page. After this track it will automatically start playing other selections on my page. I don't know how to prevent this (hi-tech challenged ). So, if you like, you can just close the window after the track plays.
Keep on pickin'!

Well, maybe. But here's a cut where Danny Gatton has his hands full (figuratively and literally) in a duo with Joey DeFrancesco. A clear-cut case of an ace guitarist with an encyclopedic knowledge of rock and rock-a-billy licks locking horns with a organist with an encyclopedic knowledge of jazz and music theory:Joachim Kettner wrote:I believe Ralph Mooney couldn't have kept up with Gatton, sorry.

Fantastic studio work by Buddy Emmons on Renegade Picker. Its always been one of my favorite Buddy records.
The Blade was Buddys D10 Emmons Guitar. Wood Grain Mica, I believe.
Thanks for your post Jeff
