I'd love to learn this fantastic Buddy Emmons solo on "Silver Threads And Golden Needles" with Linda Ronstadt (It's just perfect!). Could someone please make a tab?

The solo starts at 1:11.
Thanks,
Alexander |

| In the video the steel player's right hand looks very much like Buddy Emmons. But I don't think he was the player on the studio version of the song. I thought it was someone like Sneaky Pete or Al Perkins. Haven't heard the tune in many decades, and my memory is a bit suspect. |

| The steel player on the recording I believe was Ed Black. There is a live TV version from the 70's posted on You Tube and the steel player is most certainly Buddy Emmons. |

At the time that song was recorded for Capitol records, there were actually 2 versions. The first released version was on a compilation of Capitol artists including Linda Ronstadt. I think the name of that album was the "New Spirit of Capitol". The first version was all Pedal Steel Guitar, no fiddle and the player was the Great Red Rhodes. He used distortion and that version has one of his classic intros. The solo is the same line played twice through in harmonics with distortion. I just love that solo. Red told me that when he hit that solo in the studio, it drove the producer, Chip Douglas, out of the booth, but they kept it. That version doesn't get much air play. The second version used all the same tracks as it was for a "Linda" album and they brought in David Lindley for the fiddle. This is the version more often heard as they used Red and David doubled on the Intro. In the Solo, David takes the first half and Red's Original Screaming harmonics is the second half. While I prefer the first version, I never get tired of hearing that track.
I just went out and looked at the track credits and the Asylum track and it gives Ed Black credit as Guitar (steel)and Gib credit as the fiddler, both great Artists as well. This occured just at the transition of Linda leaving Capitol and going to what was going to become WEA, Warner-Elektra-Asylum. I knew Red when he was with us and I know Chip and am aware of those original sessions. It looks like possibly they re-recorded that track for the Asylum release. That was not totally unheard of, to re-record tracks when artists changed labels. And relatively speaking, this was a fairly straight forward tracks.....because Linda knows how to Rock with the best of them. I think I found the original version on YouTube- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsiXcS-glAU. It looks like the Capitol version(s) are from ~1969 and then the Asylum was a few years later.
