Buster B. Jones teaches Jerry Reed's "Jiffy Jam"

[@zuvarian]

Thanks, I actually learnt it due to your kind and patient sharing Buster! It's my first Jerry song.

[@kman2300000000000000]

Miss you Buster! What a great player and person...

[@5519scotty]

I sat down at the CAAS convention one year with Buster on my left and Tommy Emanuel right...in Busters lounge at about 4pm....luckily I didnt have my guitar....Buster played one of his powerful original songs that me made me think of a wild turkey running 90 miles an hour at a heard of cows....Tommy played Classical gas after that....I was between them like and walked away..went outside and caught my breath....booth Buster and Tommy are MO FO...never will forget that music lesson

[@BCRSIX]

Just got my Godin nylon string yesteday; can't wait to play some of this nylon string stuff. I'm going to send off for this instrucitonal video. Of course, no one really gives a shit about what I'm going to do, but I thought I posted it anywa!

[@Benjamin-om3ih]

how did you get on?

[@mickeydapikey335]

I care, please do tell

[@parsnipfingers]

@BCRSIX I didn’t give a shit what you were going to do until you stated that nobody gives a shit. I hope you got the vid and nailed this.

[@guyincognito320]

I learned about Godin guitars through him. They make a lot of these hybrid classical guitars. I love the warm sound of nylon strings with typically bright country styles. Plus you get the electric scale length and high fret access. They're so well made you can shave off a bit of the bridge saddle or shim the neck pocket and get lower action than most electric guitars. Spread the word about Buster. He deserves GOAT status along with the rest of them

[@stringbender57]

God Bless you Buster. RIP. Hope to see and pick with you one day.

[@biggfingger5]

Buster,thanks a bunch.This will be fun to learn.Great playing too!

[@kevinalanperry]

fantastic playing and tutorial

[@chriscensullo]

Thank you Buster for teaching me this. I know you are up there jamming with Chet and Jerry.

[@ThreeChordGuitar]

fantastic job!

[@yoyomatafaka]

What a brilliant man

[@jamesdobson709]

I found if your struggling with the base line and the melody picture the whole song as a series of shapes !!!

[@Esqurl]

Another great Godin acoustic electric nylon string guitar. This guy is also an excellent finger style player. You can't duplicate this kind of performance with a straight pick. Some players train themselves to hold the straight pick and use the middle, ring, and little finger finger style. But traditionally it's a thumb pick and 4 fingers. Notice how he uses his fingernails to pick with. I do the same thing. I go to a nail salon 2 times a month and get fills. The nails are coated with acryllic.

[@boguitar87]

It's called "Stump Water". It was relased on the "Me and Jerry" Album by Chet Atkins.

[@mr.yellowstrat3352]

This song?? No it's definitely Jiffy Jam. Stump Water is a great tune though. One of my favorites from that album

[@fonduemotz]

What a set of hands he had rip

[@Wildkat-1]

Jerry Reed was a master guitar lick writer...!

[@Pickher]

thats ridiculous - I ordered the DVD/tab and it was VERY good. There were some mistakes but if you have the chops to play the tunes, then you'll have no problem figuring out the odd mistake. These lessons are excellent and I highly recommend them.

[@yoyomatafaka]

What a legend

[@NickRatnieks]

In that Bottom Line gig with Chet from 1991 Jerry mentioned that people ask him to play various tunes. He said he had forgotten them- and he was always happy when Chet agreed to record a tune- that way he said he could forget it and never have to touch it again! I think that RCA should do an album of Chet's versions of Jerry's tunes and do another of Jerry playing his own instrumentals- like this one Jiffy Jam from "Half & Half" the "pickin" half which he recorded during his "bearded period".

[@gregluland]

Hi Buster, it seems to me that you KNOW what you're doin' man. This is great stuff, my mate Goodo can really kick some ass on Jerry Reed, but I think he'd love to see you play ( if he has'nt already ), anyway I'm very pleased to discover you, best wishes Greg'

[@michauvon]

"Jerry never played his songs the same way twice". I like the statement. I hate routine and playing everything without feeling. That's why when you play it you need to feel it :) Jerry's Jiffy Jam rulez !

[@justinshort42]

u are an amazing guiar player

[@gaggle57]

lighten up, choke down and pop n' roll !

[@peahota]

oH MAN what a player! RIP

[@robertosozio3425]

Great Master namber one Bluesgrass

[@prokhinalexis520]

What is the little brown object, fixed near the horn of Buster's guitar??

[@tubeamp444]

Terrific!

[@HotRodSixString]

I'm grinning

[@kapitanplanjeta]

We do. Have a great time with your new Godin!

[@cryptoskywalker6000]

Nice.

[@cwsgershwin]

Does anyone know what kind of processing/amp Buster was using to get this rich sound. I know it is in the hands (and the guitar which is a Multiac SA) Thanks.

[@bilo06]

Dude, in part A, you have to play the B bass-note under the melody otherwise the bass-line loses its impact. The exact part I'm talking about is when the bass-line goes - E G# A A# then B. At this point it implies an E/B chord and sounds very nice progressing into the C#. You play it in the intro but drop it under the melody. Jerry probably wouldn't care as will most people, I'm just 'B-ing picky'.

[@gabbedjuret325]

5:53

[@johnjohnny2002]

What song at 0:25 ??

[@caballero03]

I can heard some blue finger in this tune :) Like this song Difficult, very difficult.

[@markstephens2234]

Especially on the intro. Buster threw that slow walking bass intro to get you in the groove for the song; highly effective I think.

[@garrymartin3945]

Great. I would like to get the tabs for jiffy jam the way your playing. Do you no where I can get them

[@ronj9448]

On the DVD

[@fenderboy88]

the intro sounds a lot like blue finger,id love to see jerry reed play blue finger,can somebody please put that on if it exists?

[@williewonka3574]

The tab for Blue Finger is in a little book that came inside a Marcel Dadi record album I bought years ago. All the songs on the album were tabbed out.I'm sure I have it somewhere. I think you could find it on one of the Tab sites.

[@akimbo139]

​@@williewonka3574I learnt so much working on all the pieces on that album. Met the man himself in his shop in Paris in the 80's

[@rickyodom]

somebody tell me where this tab is at.i also want "lightning rod".i wanna use my Chet Atkins for every thing it's worth.

[@LFlo]

What kinda guitar does he have?

[@walterlane99]

Did Buster B Jones have the same problem with his right-hand forefinger that Jerry Reed had?

[@TheMahagoni]

Tots Why is that flagged down ?

[@mitchskater]

there is also mister lucky, which buster here calls it in a different video

[@john-bs8pt]

What model guitar is this?

[@fingerpickinggood]

Godin.

[@74dorset]

shit, i really desperately want to learn this

[@aquaphone]

Beautiful playing, no doubt about it. That's a very strange looking guitar he's playing. Anyone know what it is?

[@ralex3697]

Godin

[@drtyfknmouth]

it's a Godin, but I'm not sure exactly which model it is

[@jojolapraline]

On le voit bien mon nom sur le manche de la guitare ? ok super.

[@jadm110]

is there tabs for this???

[@ronj9448]

Yeah on the DVD

[@Tier_1_Golf_Academy]

I think that is a complement...right?

[@depleteduraniumslugs]

jerry reed was JERRY REED ,,interpatation is like aholes,, everyone has one,,no reel rite or rong jus luv the manz music,, cuz,,Jerry Reed waz a good ol boy,,an a hell of a picker!! Buster is a damn fine picker too,,, good ol boyz

[@Flatted357]

Jerry had obviously been working out some classical guitar riffs when he wrote this

[@pacisablo]

how did he die?

[@stringbender57]

Logan Flood - I think it was complications from alcoholism. We have lost SO many greats because of alcohol. Wish I could have met and heard Buster playing live. I loved watching him and Thom Bresh perform together. It was mind boggling to say the least. 🎶🎸

[@thegratefulbrad3072]

This guy's pretty good but I can never remember his name.

[@jamesdilorenzo5005]

Ha Ha

[@00big_chungus00]

What's your dealm

[@maxcuthbert100]

Brad Jones.

[@jimmyp57]

goood job. check out my i saw the light, its a mixture of those styles.

[@74dorset]

can anyone actually be thought this song so unthoroughly

[@licengswie]

I bought The DVD's. it comes with the TABS. the DVD is awesome, But the TAB IS NOT ACCURATE, you have to dig in yourself for the details ! They just try to lure you to buy. so if you want to buy and expect to learn from it , DO NOT BUY. unless you buy the DVD for collections.

[@sereno7270]

なんかトイストーリー思い出した

[@fenderboy88]

im pretty sure its a godin

[@licengswie]

Tommy Emmanuels DVD covers more technique than this ones.

[@munetmbsc]

Great player, but he is always rushing
