Thought some of you who never venture into the pedal free zone known as Steel Without Pedals might appreciate this clip of Tom on his old Bigsby playing Boot Heel Drag with Leon Rausch, Leon Chambers, Bobby Boatright and friends.

I really enjoy listening to this. I see he plays on the middle neck. Which key is it tuned to, and from which point of the neck does he start?
Btw, is it a Jazzmaster that Leon Chambers is playing?

My quesion is answered in Steel Without Pedals.

| His tunings appear to be E13 in the middle and C6 on the back. |
Jaguar or Jazzmaster I'm still wondering...

Thanks, quite unusual in the country/ western swing style, IMO
It sounds great.

I only started to get into Tom's playing after he had passed away, and just love his playing. He just made it all look so effortless.
It's also great to see Leon Chambers playing in his prime before the dreaded arthritis played havoc with the poor guy's fingers and joints. He was a very good picker as seen here.

| Mike, I've probably watched that clip 50 times in the past couple months, and it still knocks me out each time I see it. Thanks to you, I've been spending all my free cash on Timewarp Tophands records. Thanks again! |
