Thanks, steel buddy. And thanks for the inspiration to do this tune! It was really tough but fun.

Hey Lynn,

I enjoyed your rendition of Wills Point. Smooth playing! Keep them coming.

By the way, I'm originally from the Pennsylvania area. Ever hear of Indiana? That's the area I call home.

Damn that sounded good.

Very nice, Lynn. I have a Fender Mustang, but I can't make it sound like yours

Great job ! Nice sounding Bud.

Good job Lynn !!

Lynn Fargo · Post by **Lynn Fargo** » 11 Sep 2014 12:40 pm

Thanks, everyone. I had a lot of fun trying to learn this challenging tune.

Don: Do y'all have room for another PA girl down there? I've got to get around some real music!

Thanks, Dan. I need to find another tune like this. Any ideas?

Rick: I have a Mustang II with the 12" speaker. I set it on Twin and go from there. It actually sounds better live. I miked the amp and hooked that directly into my camcorder this vid so I wouldn't get pedal noise. Ya never know what you're actually getting 'til it's all said and done.

Bill: Love my Bud. She was made for me in '77. Spent most of her life in the case, though. You know, day job.

Lynn, I would say you nailed that one, great job.

chris ivey · Post by **chris ivey** » 12 Sep 2014 9:09 am

that was really good. how do you learn this stuff? is it on some learning course or something?

buddy's tunes always have complicated sophisticated voicings, but i guess they can be learned?

evidently.

Buddy's own tablatures are his gift to us
he offers his stuff on a platter
not so hard w: practice & the right steel
well themes aren't
the solos are another matter.....

Larry Baker · Post by **Larry Baker** » 12 Sep 2014 2:38 pm

Lynn, that was awesome. very well done.

I suggest you listen to Tom Brumleys song Neosho Waltz from the Tom Cattin album. Great song, you could surely do a great job on. Larry

Lynn Fargo · Post by **Lynn Fargo** » 12 Sep 2014 5:38 pm

Wow, Thanks again guys.

Don, I'm planning on the Dallas jamboree in March. Just made Scotty's for the first time this year and I was like a kid in a candy store. Don't get much steel here at home.

Thanks, Robert. I'm hoping to keep at it this time.

Thanks so much, Henry. This one took a while to get it to this point.

Yes, Chris. Buddy has been gracious enough to put out some courses for us: tab, full version, and backup tracks. Gotta love our Steelie Masters!

Thanks CrowBear. My old video "Last Date" is from one of Buddy's courses.

Thank you, Larry. I gave it a listen. Very pretty. I've gotten a few suggestions for Tom's songs. I've put them on my list.

Oops, posted twice. Silly computers.

Lynn,

I just listened to your video. Great job! Some very nice Emmons licks and execution. Nice Sho-Bud, too. I had one like it years ago. Keep up the good work.

Lynn Fargo · Post by **Lynn Fargo** » 13 Sep 2014 2:58 pm

Thanks, Roy.
It's the kind of tune I wish I could write. But I just try my best with what the big guys come up with, and tweak them a little to my own style and ability.

What are you playing now?

Hey, just noticed. We're almost neighbors.

Dale Rottacker · Post by **Dale Rottacker** » 13 Sep 2014 3:43 pm

Lynn you put a big smile on my face...You played the daylights out of that song...Hope you continue fighting and posting more stuff on here...( My son has fibro as well...pretty severe for over 10 years now...I feel for you, and hope you win the fight )
