[@damirzanne]

that Dobro hanging on his bedroom wall, behind him in the video , is today hanging on the wall in my bedroom… I sold hundreds of instruments through the years, but this Dobro ain’t going nowhere as long as I live 😊

[@bobvog7123]

His tone and feeling was incredible.

[@WildPhotoShooter]

There will never be another pedal steel player with the exquisite taste and tone that Buddy had.

Thanks Jelle again over and over for what you have done for us Buddy "lovers". He is truly THE greatest musician I have ever heard. Bar NONE. And that goes for those yet unborn. My best to Koos also. Words could never describe how much I loved and miss him. May Jesus rest his soul

[@heavyasi1981]

Such musicianship by all!

[@sandburgmartin7947]

Just remember Buddy loved jazz riffs and added them to "Night Life" and other hits. Pedalsteel actually brings a country, blues, rock, pop, Western swing, & honky tonk sound all together. The epitome of American music.

Buddy was a giant both as a musician and a man ❤

[@kevinraabe457]

That was short but SWEET!!

[@joepalooka2145]

Great video but it's about an hour too short!

[@janviljoen41]

Nostalgic on the old musicians and of course Buddy.

[@lha3954]

Do you have the full documentary

[@Buck__420]

Awesome thanks 👍

[@damirzanne]

that was awesome, thank you so much...

[@stevemelancon6207]

Big E from Tennessee baby.

[@zumsteelguitar]

Miss him !

[@doctorhugo]

For me, it was Bob Dunn who pioneered the steel sound in our kind of music and Buddy polished it off and smoothed it out around the edges as an innovator. No two ways about it. It's hard to imagine what the steel guitar would have become had not the Big E pushed his ingenuity to the creative limits.

[@Womble1252]

I thought he was way more into J.Murphey...?

[@CARDINAL701]

The Big E baby!!! ( Love his Mickey Mouse collection!)

[@naomicarmanmusic]

Cool

[@boxenwarrenw9424]

Does anyone know what the first song is?

[@The1973Drummer]

The Sound Shop.

[@johnmillar2931]

Anyone know the title of the documentary this is taken from?

[@sodbuster4411]

Amazing

[@jeromestephenball]

Love this...anybody know what year this was?

[@basilhenriques]

Interesting comment at 1:28, certainly debunks those that say you must practise scales to be able to improvise.

[@joepalooka2145]

You are totally wrong, that's not what Buddy meant at all. Yes, he started out copying the licks of his musical idols of the past. But in fact, Buddy practiced scales and arpeggios, and studied theory and harmony like every master musician does. You don't get to the top of your profession like he did without being extremely well-educated in the fundamentals.

[@basilhenriques]

@@joepalooka2145 God help you if your lack of English comprehension affects your ability to play and understand music..I am not totally wrong in quoting what Buddy said and passed on to mere mortals like you. Sorry if I'm the conduit for Buddy's explanation as to how he learned to improvise, you SHOULD have gleaned that tid-bit from the ACTUAL dialogue..

[@basilhenriques]

@@joepalooka2145 Here is Mr. Emmons describing how he uses POCKETS not scales..I suppose he didn't say that either ?? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYXSqIiDd9Kpm9k

@@basilhenriques relax dude. Be happy. Live and let live.. check your ego at the door while you're at it sensitive one~

[@bobbyhearn4875]

If you can’t play scales, you won’t get very far on this instrument.

[@johnjp5883]

Buddy was the best, I think Curly Chalker was right there also

[@jefferybernard4800]

johnjp amen

[@derekmoore6265]

Rudi Wairata also

[@waggitnshaggit6592]

Definitely 😊 oh Lloyd Green too

[@ferraridinoman]

Great Player!, but not my cup of tea on the Steel. Too much Jazz and very little E9, all C6 stuff! but a great talent all the same RIP xx

[@williamjohnson4303]

I met Buddy at the steel guitar convention in St. Louis and he was a very gracious gentleman. He changed his world for the better.

[@pedalman130]

Yeah I don't care much for jazz on C6th but Buddy's E9th playing is better than any steel player on planet earth. Listen from 4:26
