Buddy Emmons 2 minute C6 solo

Post by Tore Blestrud »

In 1977 the Norwegian "Jonas Fjeld Band" released The Tennessee tapes. The last song "Roll On" features an over 2 minutes long classic Buddy Emmons C6 solo. Pretty cool stuff:

that's great, thanks for sharing. here's the song on YouTube as well: https://youtu.be/NQL_8MvrEww

I recently discovered Bucky Barrett's Killin' The Wind album recorded in '79 that features Buddy (and Lenny Breau). he takes another 2-minute ride on this one (starting at 4:14):

That's cool! Partly some of the regular Emmons' schtick (not at all meant in a derogatory way), but also some really unique and imaginative stuff.

Thanks for posting it. 8)
