For all you Buddy Emmons fans (and who isn't), here is a 54 minute video of Buddy's rehearsal for the 1997 ISGC.
This is so neat, seeing the master in action, in a candid atmosphere.
Enjoy and let me know if you like this!

| Bill, You have just made my day so much better. On a day when I have not felt good physicially this video has lifted me up. I have always been a huge Buddy Emmons fan and have seen him play several times at steel shows. I have always walked away knowing I saw something evry special and felt so blessed to see him play. I want to add the band was excellent but David Smith on bass guitar is such a huge asset to any band. As many know David played bass guitar with Buddy Emmons for many years and that speaks highly of David and the quality musician he is. Thanks Bill for posting this video. |

HI BILL
Thanks for posting this video.
Which make/brand of PSG is Buddy playing? I know Buddy sounds like Buddy no matter which brand of guitar he plays.
Seems like he was tuning the C neck often. Perhaps it was caused by the airconditioning?

Roger, It was a Derby steel.
If you will notice any of the pros, they are constantly tweaking their tuning, sometimes depending on the song they are going to play. |

Yep, my favorite actor Robert Duvall said it best in the movie "Apocalypse Now" when he said, "I love the smell of napalm and the sounds of Buddy Emmons in the morning."
I'm pretty sure that's what he said.  |

Buddy was great at Scotty's 1997 show. That first tune was on a Swing Shift CD. Bars 25..36 illustrate why he is Buddy Emmons and we are not:

Just crazy how great E is with seemingly very lttle effort. With him, the steel is an appendage. Buddy's memory of melody and exquisite interpretation of so many songs is astonishing and would be on any instrument. One of the most amazing things I've ever seen or heard, and I've seen and heard a lot.
Thanks for posting the vid Mr. Bill.
Big E, thank you for sending me back to the study room once again. Well, you've been teaching me for over 40 years. Still are. I'll never give up! Haha |

Jack if my counter is right I believe that the song Buddy is playing is "Drownin My Troubles". It's off the "Going Out Swingin" CD.

Absolutely fantastic to watch him just play in a totally casual setting. Interesting that he two foots the 7 pedal all the time. Never moved his left over to 7. Some 7 5 and 7 6 5 things going on.

I believe it was the first E9 song he did, at either 11:50 or 12:50 is "I've Just Destroyed The World I'm Living In"
