Emmons: "The Last Letter" - Pt. 1a

Frank Freniere · From: The First Coast

I was so inspired by Terry Miller's post HERE of Buddy's (and Terry's) performance of "The Last Letter," I decided to take a shot at tabbing it - and then revising Part 1.

You really need that 4th knee lever to play this version - it's as close as I could get it.

Here's the song on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R70DWOQRbFg

Frank I really like this. Your post said part 1... Do you plan on tab for all the song. I would like to get it if so.
Thank you.

Hi Bill -

Yes, I tabbed out the song in four parts which I will add to this thread. I had heckuva time locating these tabs on the Forum https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=385733 so it's a good thing to have them in one place here.

Part 2: https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=358496&highlight=emmons

Parts 3 & 4 to follow after I re-check them. Regards, FF.

Frank are there anyway that I can print the tab. Let me know how much I owe you...because I really want to learn this great song by Buddy Emmons. I didn't see no click for printing. Many thanks Frank my friend.

Part 3:

A tab of Jeff Newman's solo on "Last Letter" from a live performance at a seminar he gave at the 1981 ISGC in St. Louis can be found HERE.

The Buddy/Terry Miller YouTube is HERE.

Part 4:

I hear Tommy Detamore's sound and approach on Doug Sahm's "St. Olav's Gate" in this section of "Letter."
