Emmons: "Shenandoah" - Pt. 3 in D

Frank Freniere · From: The First Coast

From the Jan Mulder YouTube video of Buddy live at the 2007 ISGC.

Youâ€™ll notice on Buddyâ€™s copedent that his â€œAâ€ pedal does not raise string 10; heâ€™s got the whole-tone raise on a knee lever. He also lowers string 10 a whole tone on another knee lever.

Most intermediate and advanced players will have the pedals and levers needed to play this version of â€œShenandoah,â€ i.e., the second-string raise, and the sixth- and ninth-string lowers. But Iâ€™m guessing far fewer pickers have Buddyâ€™s tenth-string set-up; I know I donâ€™t. So Iâ€™m penciling in those changes in measure 10 on page 5 below, which is a real shame because his subtle use of these changes makes for one of the most beautiful passages in the song IMHO.

I did find a workaround for the 10th string IV-I ending of the song but just couldnâ€™t make it happen in this section.

Timing of notes is approximate.
