Not exactly a new product but now soon to be available once again. Re-posted from Our Extended Family- "When Buddy told me that he was done selling his courses because it was too much hassle I (long story) convinced his to let me do the duplicating and distributing as it was too great a body of work to just let die. After his passing and I had exhausted most of what I had paid him for, the money that I would have paid him now goes to the Country Music Hall of Fame under Buddy and Peggy's names. The problem for me was that the Step One recordings that I had in stock were gone and without them them Buddy's courses existed w/o the original recordings and one had only to guess about the phrasings, etc, that he used. I had tried numerous times to find Ray without luck until this post where I was provided his phone number. I then contacted Ray(great guy)- explained my predicament, and he had most of the original courses left and we worked out a deal where I could purchase them from him so they will be once again available and I am extremely happy to be able to provide them to folks. Thanks again to Larry Petree for his assistance!" |

Jim & all . . .
Buddy has provided all of the phrasings, or
'musical timing' in the series of dots just
below the bottom of each line of tabulature.
Notes above a dot fall on that corresponding
beat. When there are two notes before the next
dot, they are eighth-notes. If there are three
note 'per dot', they are triplets, etc., you
get the idea . . .
Rather clever, in that it doesn't involve
musical symbols, thereby keeping 'reading
from instrument-specific diagrams' rather
'unto itself' and doesn't delve in to the
area of 'conventional musical notation'

That's great news, Jim. Buddy's material is an incredible resource into the mind of the greatest person to ever sit behind the instrument. |

Thanks to all of you. Russ- I fear that I am dot challenged despite Buddy's best intentions as for me it really helps to hear the phrasing. |

Pali;
So glad you took this on & breathed new life back into this..
I would think a LOT of players would be interested in the great works
from one of the all time masters of pedal steel guitar!
Thank You

Great job, Jim - thank you!
I can understand Buddy's 'dot system' and it's quite clever. However, I can't 'see' the phrasing at a glance and am more at home with actual music-notation.
But Russ is correct - the info is there; it just takes a bit of concentration to decipher it.
I'm delighted that perhaps the most ambitious steel guitar-related material ever created is going to be available for generations to come. I can hardly imagine the effort Buddy himself must have put into that tablature. I think I recall a story that he'd spend hours in hotel rooms tabbing out his stuff without his guitar next to him for reference! _________________ Roger Rettig - Emmons D10s, Quilter TT-12, B-bender Teles and old Martins.
