Buddy double chimes
Check out the steel on the web section, Buddy 1997 Sunday performance, it looks like he does double chimes 5 frets apart on the first song. Am I correct? How did I ever miss this, he never stops blowing us away.

You nailed it Olli. The lick consists of two sets of harmonics on the C6 tuning. The first set is acquired by placing the little finger on the E or second string at fret 12 and the first finger on string three at the nineteenth fret. Using the same finger positioning, drop them to strings three and four and finish the third set of harmonics on strings four and five.
The second set of harmonics will be at the same strings and fret positions, twelve and nineteen, with the fingers reversed, or little finger on string three and the first finger on string two at fret nineteen. From there, drop the fingers to strings three and four and strings four and five as you did for the first set.
It’s the same strings and fret positions but the harmonies change as you reverse the fingers.
The more I think about it the more I see it as a brilliant idea, but modesty forbids me to dwell on it.

Buddy,
at that convention, 2007, I had the ultimate steel guitar nut experience:
I had ordered a new Williams guitar to be picked up at the Convention.
Bill Rudolph led me to the closed ballroom to see the guitar.
While I was admiring and checking out my new guitar you and your band were rehearsing for the evening`s performance. Getting a new steel guitar with Buddy Emmons providing the sountrack live in an otherwise empty ballroom...
Doesn`t get any better than that, does it?
Thanks for that and everything else
Cheers,
Olli
Edit. I was ten years off the mark here. I was talking about the 2007 show and the video is 1997. So what, great music, great times

You may want to try something that could be easier to accomplish the same sound, and that is to place the first finger on the second string and little finger on string three, fret seven, and move your fingers down two strings at a time as in the original suggestion. Then move your the fingers to the twelfth and nineteenth frets for the second set of harmonics. That way, you use the same finger positions for both sets of harmonics. I believe that’s the way I did it in the video clip.
As for the guitar, someone said it was a Derby.

Buddy are there any other ideas you have been holding back? The world is waiting, dump on us, we can take it. I loved the chimes in Wild Mtn Thyme (sp), playing two strings together,one string chimed against the adjacent string above unchimed. Then when one pushes a pedal and or moves the bar, oh boy. That opened a few brain waves.
