I'm really excited about this new course I've just finished, after many student requests for something like this. We take a great live track from 1977, with Buddy at the top of his game playing the beautiful ballad "Broken Down In Tiny Pieces", and tear it apart phrase by phrase in the "talk tape" format explaining every lick in great detail, along with alternate approaches, other ways and places to use the licks, explanation of the scale tones against chord changes, etc.
This is a great tune for beginner to intermediate players as it's fairly easy to play, but still loaded with nuances and ideas that will challenge and interest even more advanced players. Loads of great ideas here to put into all the other songs you're playing, and some real insights into Buddy's wonderful style.
No tablature needed, every note and phrase completely explained in a full hour of instruction. Nice clean recording you can actually hear! Large thanks to forumite Mike Ihde for granting permission to use the track from his great CD "Buddy Emmons Live in Boston July 1977".
I'm looking forward to feedback on this one as there's lots more in the pipe. $20 shipped.

Gary, thanks to Mike Ihde, the original track is included in the course, at the beginning and again at the end. It's similar to his performance on the "Buddies" album, I found this link to play that one free:
http://new.music.yahoo.com/buddy-emmons/tracks/broken-down-in-tiny-pieces--191665655
Although I couldn't figure out how to get it to play!
It's a great track, medium ballad tempo, loaded with cool Buddy licks. |

I wanted to get this right out as I've had a bunch of requests for Emmons material. |

Got mine today!! Quick service, very professional product. To more or less directly quote the author "a dissection of Buddy's approach to a tune." Lots of useful licks to steal.
Thanks much.

Mark,
Great job dissecting that wonderful tune. Your explanation is clear and easy to follow with a wealth of info to get Buddy's licks and phrasing techniques. Congratulations on a job well done. I hope you do more of them. |
