Rainbows All Over Your Blues

[John Steele (deceased)]

I'm not going to claim that this is exactly how Buddy Emmons played that wonderful solo in John Sebastien's "Rainbows All Over Your Blues", but it's got to be pretty darned close.
Comments/suggestions welcome. Happiest steel solo ever.

Hey John,
Thanks for posting that; it was one of the seminal solos that got me kicked into steel. I'm traveling now but when I get home I'm gonna give your tab a whirl.
Cheers,

Make sure to change you page set-up to "landscape" if you want to print this out or it comes out squished up and unreadable. It splits a few of the lines on to different pages, but you can read it. Thanks for posting this John.
