I love this arrangement of "Crying Steel Guitar":

Check out that beautifully polished Emmons! Looks as good as it sounds!

You can learn this arrangement as well, tabs and tracks

I really can't think of an easier, more fun way to learn this tune, you get the tab of what he is playing in the YouTube video and then you get two tracks, both have the backing instrumentation but one has his steel part and one is just the backing track.

Very good tune, everyone should be playing a crying steel guitar. That's what they excel at.

Welp you ceartinly had that "Crying" sounding good on Your polished Emmons that was really nicely done, perhaps it will magically appear on your Great saturday afternoon broadcast in the near future. Thanks for sharing it on Yt.
