….Waylon's Austin City Limits from 1989 it's really quite a good show and Mooney shines

David, what guitar was he playing? He told me once he played a Magnatone 8 in those days, to which he had added pedals

Eric, thx for the reminder. I just bought it on Kindle and it is excellent. Great work, Steve Fishell!

Dave, thanks. That's some good (and early) Buddy Emmons. Does anyone think that is the Fender?

Who played on George Jones' "Tall Tall Trees"? (B Side of "Hearts in My Dream)"

Thanks, Ethan

FWIW Bobby Black told me he used to go hear Vance Terry at the "Brisbane Bop" location, playing his Bigsby pedal steel thru a Bassman 4x12.

My opinion on Franklins' success as a recording guitar:

Franklin guitars, for some reason, are more "contained" in sound range. The small strings are not as bright, compared to the mid ...

Yes, I have it on a Zero pedal. I call it the EB pedal (Earnest Bovine, he has it). So with the adjacent A pedal you can do that C6 stuff because you have 2 strings (a Min 3rd interval) raising a whol ...

I am posting a "reply" here, simply to bring this thread, about Vance Terry, up into the light again.

If you haven't heard Brisbane Bop, here's a link.

"I split the D to E raise with the D to DB lower giving me the D#"

Splitting E and Db to get the D# is a brilliant move.

Johnny,

1- On your above 2 copedents ("Emmons split guys" and "what I'll end up with"), there is no F-raise equivalent (previously on your LKL). Instead, you are using LKL to ra ...

Johnny.

I'd love to play live again soon! I'll try to remember to let you know when that happens again.

JR, thanks for posting this. I needed some Mooney!

Bobby Black was telling me about his days listening to Vance Terry, and said that Vance (and Bobby) were both playing Bigsbys, and the tuning was, low-to-high:
E G# B D F# G# B E
The two pedals rais ...

Paul has both.

when I first started on pedal steel, I was in touch with Jerry Fessenden a lot, and he was in touch with Buddy. I was changing my copedent all the time, and somehow Jerry asked Buddy about any ideas h ...

I've done that on a 10, and there's a lot of good there.

However, try raising the low E with the B pedal. It works great. Pedals down is an F# minor 7th chord, with lots of melodic movement with A ...

Thanks, Steve. I thought it might be. I had never heard this; love the period and sound of this session.

Who's on steel on Just One More by George Jones?

Paul uses tuning compensators lowering the F# strings when the A pedal is pressed, and another lowering the str 7 F# when the B pedal is pressed.

He uses return compensators on every string that ha ...

Paul has no splits.
