Buddy will forever own the benchmark for the mastery of the Pedal Steel Guitar. No one has the tasteful playing Buddy had, and he never overplayed in the second half of a melody . Many players when doing the second verse try to fit as many notes in as possible and so often they ruin their own performance by messing up. Buddy never did that, and his tone was pure perfection .
I’m a Buddy Emmons fan too! I’m sure you have heard of Herb Remington? Herb was also a great steel guitarist! Oddly enough, both greats originated from Mishawaka, Indiana! It’s amazing that the City of Mishawaka put out two greats!
@@johnjp5883 I checked out Curly Chalker on UA-cam and Wikipedia. Curly was definitely great on steel guitar. As a bandleader, he sounded like he wasn’t so nice. On stage he would cuss at his band members who made mistakes. I’m guessing that his temper held him back. If I’m not mistaken, managers and staff members from clubs/auditoriums wouldn’t like that! I’m a semi professional musician myself. I wouldn’t want to perform for someone with that kind of personality. Talented or not, a nasty personality isn’t fun to perform with. I’m one who will gladly perform with anyone of any talent level. As long as he or she is not a jerk!
Thank God there is video of the MASTER at work! You don't find any videos today of any of the acts, in Dallas Show, I would have loved to see all my old players on here today but for some reason they don't want you to Video The show? At least someone was smart enough to record THE BIG E..........
Listening to Buddy Emmons make me believe in miracles.
I shook hands with him when I was introduced to him in 1983. He had the hands of a surgeon.

Always love his tone and seamless style of chordal/melody on songs.
Saw Buddy there the year before with Ray Price and Blonde. Sara Jory brought the house down too.
Ahh, those memories🙏🏼
When he laughs you know he got lost for a split second but his genius weaseled his way out of it. Incredible.
He played more by accident than I do trying.
Buddy as usual is wonderful. And what a terrific fiddle player
What more can I say about Buddy Emmons that hasn't been said yet..........?
He was the best that I have ever heard. I saw him a few times when he was playing for Ray Price.
Buddy Emmons = GOAT
Simply put, The Worlds foremost Steel guitarist.
Often imitated, NEVER duplicated!

@@kinkajou777 also a Buddy fan but Curly Chalker may be another in that class?
@@johnjp5883 , It’s cool to meet another Buddy fan! I will check Curly Chalker out! I confess that he’s new to me!

My brother Ethan loved Buddy Emmons; had an Emmons pedal steel guitar that he played for years. Godspeed and peace, Ethan and Buddy!
Always my favorite the Big E God Bless!
The Master...

Great song!!!
Buddy is playing the same model EMCI pedal steel guitar I play. I only wish I can make it sound just one-fourth as good as he does!
The best
you have steel players, then you have emmons ❤
He was so far ahead of the rest that they thought they were winning.
Big E!
I like the piano players wig/dead animal on his head.
It's not dead ....
@@MrZiggy-pm9rz whatever it is. Looks nice, cant even tell its there.
I believe his name is Gene Rose. He played with a lot of great players and bands!
Making hair stand on end for decades 😢
