Anyone have tablature for nightlife on C6th. I am not sure if it was Jimmy Day or Buddy Emmons who did the original. I have a tape of Emmons doing an instrumental version. Increibly beautiful.

Well here is the intro and Solo tabbed from the original 1963 Ray Price Recording with Buddy Emmons cutting with a Shobud>

Herby Wallace has a killer version on a backup course.

Ricky, I'm still looking for a tab of Buddy Emmons' breaks on the bridge...you know, after:

"Listen to the blues they're playin'..." and "Listen to what the blues are sayin'"...

Any help?

Hey Bud; yeah I never tabbed that part, only the intro and solo.
Good luck.

Hey Ricky, if memory serves (which it doesn't do as often anymore), Buddy played what I would call "rakes" on the bridge. What technique do you guys use for muting rakes? Fast bar movement?

I start the rake with the finger pick on the highest note and the Thumb pick on the lowest note....than I rake down quickly with the finger; than mute with the side of my hand the raked notes just before I hit the thumb pick note. Than of course you can mute the thumb pick note or continue on with that note being the first of the next consecutive notes.

Thanks, Ricky.

Thanx for the tab....Don't you just love the C6th!

On the originial demo that was cut with Willie nelson,Paul Buskirk and W.C. "Willie" Buskirk, Who all 3 were the writers of the hit.The steel player was Herb Remington.
