Stardust - E9 pedal steel ---> mp3

Doug Beaumier · Post by **Doug Beaumier** » 14 May 2010 12:05 pm

One of my favorite old standards. This E9 arrangement uses only two pedals (A & B) and two knee levers (E to F, E to D#). Once through the melody. '75 Emmons push/pull S-10. Hope you like it. Thanks for listening!

Thanks, Ron! Yes, it's a Hoagy Carmichael song. Ya can't go wrong with a melody like this.

Doug: Hey Man !! Really COOL !! I enjoyed it but I definately got a kick out of those strings swipes with a bare finger, at the very end. Bob White showed me that one about fifty years ago.

And yes, it does sit very well into the E9th set-up.

There is no Emoticon for Thank You so I'll write it out...

THANK YOU !!

Regards, Paul

Good job on this song Doug. Did you ever hear the intro on this song? It's as beautiful as the song and twice as many chords. Learning the whole intro would be like learning another whole song. I keep telling myself, some day, I'm going to learn the whole song, but someday never comes. ha ha Larry

Doug,

I don't think that I've ever heard you play better! I'm thinking that your rendition of "Stardust" is something to shout about. Someone requested more of the same. I second the motion! It gives a clear picture of your great artistic abilities.

Larry,

Check out the intro to: "Springtime In The Rockies" at your convenience. It features an amazing introduction to the beautiful melody.

Thanks Larry, Bill, and others. Yes, a lot of 30s and 40s tunes have beautiful, interesting, and long "intros". The main body of the song was simply called the "chorus". Another song with an extended intro is "Someone To Watch Over Me". Of course there are many others.

Thanks for the kind comments.
