| Thanks for posting this Chris! It is absolutely extraordinary the speed The Big E achieves and the imagination of these passages he plays. Buddy is gonna keep me up at night yet again rethinking the pedal steel! |

What a cool post, Chris!
For someone like me who's never been in a room with Buddy, it gives a good sense of how hard he picks and how he varies that. When he's really cooking, he lays off a little, like a sax player. The harder you blow, the harder it is to have real finesse with those fast passages.
Also, you can hear how cleanly he blocks. Especially loved hearing the notes he doesn't pick.
Thanks!

| Are you sure that's Buddy? Sounds like Paul Franklin's version of My Baby Thinks He's a Train. |

| Sounds like Buddy's voice at the end saying "no pedals"...? |

| I agree with Tim and Jeff - the riffs sound more like Paul than Buddy to me, but I have to concede - unlike Chris, we weren't there.. |

chris has no reason to lie about this. he is a friend of buddy's. why start up a dumbfest about it? jeez.
he tries to do everyone a favor and someone (amazingly, a couple people i respect) insinuate he's lying. what's happened to the world?
edit: apologize to barry, i hear what he hears too, but i trust chris.

Sounds amazing ! Buddy is the place from which it all came.
I don't know why you guys hear Paul Franklin. There are licks like that on the Black album.

Chris, no problems with any comments on the forum. I am happy that I could have provided the audio. The only problem I have is battling the computer with its formats, messages saying something won't compute, and all the other stuff that goes along with our technological age.
I guess it's fair to say that there would be no Paul if it weren't for Buddy, and there would not be a Buddy if it weren't for the ones that came before him.
We are all lucky to have been bitten by the steel guitar bug. No matter how much you itch and scratch, it won't go away.
…Now where's that Speedy West tape? i know it's here somewhere :0)

i just noticed this..
FTR..when i want to call someone a liar, i will state firmly "you are a liar"...
nobody has called anybody a liar.
i did state that it sounds like paul but it could be buddys wife or uncle or pet chipmonk for all i know.
ive always been very direct in my approach to everyone here or anywhere else...so for the trouble makers on this forum...please stop putting words in my mouth. |

| Whoever it is, it is interesting that the practice technique is not to gradually increase speed but to play hard & solid at a relatively slow tempo and then double it. A great lesson. |

everyone can all take responsibility for their own actions on this before you call me a troublemaker.

Whoever y'all think it is or aren't, I applied some
filtering to hopefully bring the steel out moreso.

Hope this doesn't bug you, Chris. I gave this another shot, raising the noise a lot and raising the picking. A little.
YET ANOTHER REPROCESS

| I'm gonna have to dig up some old P-P&M records, and do a re-listen. I missed the steel guitar in there, the first time. |
