There is no match for the talent and genius of this man. I could watch and listen for days and never tire of his mastery of the pedal steel. I seen Buddy many times but not nearly enough.
He was a nice guy too. Back in the early 70s I lived in Houston and owned an Emmons D10. I heard that Ray Price and The Cherokee Cowboys were going to do a show at Gilley's in Pasadena. I got there early so I could get a good table to watch the show. First person to arrive was none other than The Big E. My jaw dropped, watched him set up his gear and get it tuned. He smiled at me a couple times, and finally I went up and introduced myself, told him I was a novice steel player and had an Emmons. He was just as friendly as could be. We chatted for a few minutes and then he left and went backstage.
After Ray and the rest of the band arrived and the show started, several times Buddy would bust into some trademark solo on one of the songs and he'd look at me and grin.
I'll never forget it.
Michael Nelson that’s awesome man! What’s weird about his playing is, it sounds pretty standard. But then you try to play it and it’s like, man this is harder than it sounds. He was truly a genius.
That's awesome man!! 🙏🙏❤ great memories
Loved it when Buddy said "Getting lost and finding your way out of it is the most fun."
I’m still finding my way around just one neck as a beginner player and Buddy‘s remark is spot on for somebody like myself. It’s hilarious to even imagine Buddy could ever be “lost” 😆...bless him and all of you steelers who have influenced and shown a newbie like me the path to this instrument
The old timers used to call it “faking:” playing some way-out thing-just to see what happens, and then resolving it in a way that made it sound intentional and fitting.
Yep. dance fatman
He was the only steel player that made me want to ditch guitar for steel. What an amazing talent
God bless Buddy Emmons, the most melodic and musical steel guitarist.
MIND BLOWING! He does those runs and riffs like it was just as easy as breathing.... What a master of the instrument...
He's a master of music Extraordinaire! IE: Buddy would have been a master, NO matter what the instrument is; because he was FIRST a musician from Heaven innately.
Then a player. Thus it would not matter. I suppose that Ray Charles and Mac Atcheson put it the best:
1. Ray said, "Buddy Emmons is part of my brain. For he plays exactly what I want to hear!".
2. Mac said, "I would rather listen to Buddy Emmons tune his steel; than to hear any other play the steel!".
I was fortunate to see Buddy Emmons several times down through the years. I even attended a seminar in 1987 in Mesquite, Texas he was teaching. In my opinion Buddy is the greatest steel player of all time. He had everything a steel player desires, tone, speed, technique, could play both necks extremely well and different styles of music. I sure miss him at steel shows but all these videos bring back some great memories.
Absolutely brilliant. When you consider Buddy largely invented the modern day pedal steel and ultimately became its most accomplished player, this is a great example of what a humble genius he truly was.
Yeah he split the A&B pedals and moved the 9th string to position two ....Buddy's development of the instrument was genius .
I'm a guitarist but not a steel player. Buddy and all of the innovative groundbreaking players were just untouchable. Such depth in their playing.
Blue Jade, such a gorgeous melody. Buddy Emmons, the benchmark on pedal steel guitar will forever belong to him.
Blue Jade ...love that tune.
@@jackmurphy4788 Yep...that descending lick at 9:06 or so always blows my mind.
@@johnmaggard8384 Amen, amen and AMEN!
If the pedal steel guitar goes on for another thousand years there will never never be another Buddy emmons
Man, it's like interviewing George Washington. Amazing chunk of history right there. I love how he laughs at his "stock " runs, still blows my mind.
I wish there were more interviews, like this.
Loved it.
Thank you Matt! Solid gold.
Yes, Buddy was the best. Did so much for Pedal Steel.
The Big "E". Often imitated, NEVER duplicated!
Amen, amen and AMEN!
Miss him...I prefer the Emmons, but he makes the Zum sound just perfect!!! What a player he was...wow..
I Miss Buddy Emmons So Much 1937 - 2015
Thanks for posting this one Mathew! I never saw it before. Very inspiring to see Buddy play and explain. Such a MASTER and while staying the friendly and humble person he was! Legendary!
Thank you so much matt for sharing!
Thanks for sharing this MJ... the man just had it all. ALL.
The Big E, baby. The Force and The Source.
This video is such an amazing find.
This is why he's the master and the godfather of the pedal steel guitar
This Legend has such an amazing ability
Wow! That was a great interview and demonstration. Cool to hear Buddy's thoughts on the tuning and applications. What a master accomplished musician. My all time favorite player.
Excellent interview which provides great insight into Buddy Emmons' technique. The person conducting the interview has great knowlege about the instrument and technique.
That was so good! Thank you.
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks, Matt!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful music. G O A T
Thanks for this NICE video. From France : Jo Luttringer
I saw him twice, once backing The Everly Brothers, and once backing Tompall Glaser.
Love Buddy’s music. I envy the Angels.
AAH…yes just keep coming back….the best
Buddy seemed to favor that C-6 neck, because he liked jazz. His standard Emmons E-9 tuning has been used for years, especially by students and instructional materials. Today, we have Paul Franklin’s pedal. During Buddy’s time, there were no pedals. There were triple straight necks. Buddy’s well thought out tunings and pedals and knee levers are a foundation for the modern pedal steel guitar. We all love “Nightlife” with Ray Price on vocals. Buddy’s intro and solo = fantastic. I love the boo-aah pedal.
Amazing man ❤
It makes you wonder why you didn't pay more attention in music theory.
Buddy inspired my dad to be one of the worlds greatest steelguitarplayers ever. The steelguitar solo on Ruby by Gary Holton & Casino Steel might prove my dad (John) had the force. (not to mention his solo in Goodnight Irene.)
I watched this the other day and I was blown away. Some good info here along with amazing olaying.
I was trying to work put an E9th version of King of The Road after I hears this, lol
True legend.
You can hear Buddy grunt and groan playing the intro, I've yet to meet a steel player that didn't do that while playing, me included.
Timing, tone and taste
Its a shame the camera shot didn't include his feet, a lot of pedal steel playing is the floor pedal work.
If I knew 5% of what he knew on pedal steel I'd be a good player.
It’s got like a chill let’s play chess vibe
Il padre di tutti gli steelere del mondo.....😉❤🤘
Buddy Emmons aka Goosebumps
I was told to buy Buddies LP Steel guitar Jazz. at the age of about17, Bought it twice and sold my pedal steel and stuck to guitar
Buddy Emmons
7:31 I understand that feeling.
Theory monster
Wow
Buddy Emmons and Danny Gatton were the greatest duo ever!!!
REDNECK JAZZ!!!
Buddy emmons
What is the tune after the conversation would like to use it during memorial service. Thanks 🙏
This answer will be too late but it's called 'Blue Jade' - original version here: czcams.com/video/KQtU5N07rAQ/video.html
"About that gravity thing.. I was wrong.. Buddy was right.." -Sir Isaac Newton
Does anyone know what amp he was playing through in this video?
I believe he was using the revelation pre amp with a lexicon delay
He may have just been using the Nashville 112 in this video
There have been countless numbers of brilliant musicians in the 20th-21st centuries, so it is ridiculous to say who was the most "brilliant". I don't care, and I'm gonna say it anyway: Buddy Emmons was the most brilliant musician of the last 100 years. There.
I hate bad steel this guy is beautiful.
7:14
Buddy should be playing one of his Emmons pedal steels. That Zum has too many knee levers hanging down, like dingleberries.
Still the best, no one matches E!
Not a fan of this style sounds like Jerry Byrd on lap steel who i also dislike.So many steel guitarist about that play nicer that don’t get mentioned.Ralph Mooney,Rudi Wairata,Sol Hoopii,George defretes Billy hew len and Dick McIntire to name a few.
The maestro. The only player who might have been better at chording was Curly Chalker.
Buddy had exquisite taste in bucket loads. Curley Chalker was brilliant but sometimes he overplayed and forgot about taste. Buddy always kept it tasteful.
