Corn Pickin' / Fender Nashville B-Bender Tele / Fender Deluxe Reverb

[GeorgiaBoy1961]

Superreverbking, just had to write to compliment you on your cover of this tune, one of my favorite Bakersfield country classics. I need to buy a bender guitar, but when I get it, I'd need to start trying to cop those nice steel licks. Any tips or pointers? What voicings are you using in the "steel guitar" parts that correspond to Mooney's solo? Many thanks again for posting this; you sound great. Where do you perform?

[superreverbking]

@GeorgiaBoy1961 Thanks - I really can't play the bender well (haven't really picked it up since around the time this vid was made. Steel parts are just major and minor triads over each chord. I play out in the clubs and halls of Long Island, NY, rarely playing this type of music, unfortunately.

[hdhpmaker]

Outstanding man!! A friend turned me on to this because he said it sounded like my ol man.. he has been gone 21 years. He was right, great memories...thanks

[danpolicarpo]

Oh man, that was sweeeet! I am really liking your sound. Is that a Silverface Deluxe Reverb that you are using? THanks.

[redland47]

Terrific...Your B-bender improvisation is right in keeping with the spirit of the original tune...sometimes the simplest things are the best...I'm going to get my B-Bender out and learn this too, I've always loved the original. Roger M (62 this year!).

[55centerstage]

Wow you are incredible. Love the sound of your guitar. If you live around Pittsburgh my band would love to jam with you kemme know. Were looking for a good country guitarist.

[superreverbking]

@55centerstage

Thanks for watching. Unfortunately, I live nowhere near Pittsburgh.

[BlueSuedeTom]

This proves  country guitar played at a nice steady pace is BEAUTIFUL!

well done!

[NHfiddle]

I have a Y2K Nashville teecaster and I just put the B bender, G bender and drop D tail piece on it that I got for Christmas. After 46 years of playing straight guitar, I've entered into a new realm of country guitar. I love it.

[spateeight]

Ive got the same one but i dont play blues/country with it.

[1952Telecaster]

excellent!

[jci788]

Niiccee! That's pure picken. Had my parsons B-Bender two days now and I've learned good lick from your vid. Thanx!

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

Hi there, good playing! Can you recommend any CDs featuring B bender-like riffs, so I can improve my own playing? Cheers, Baz.

[superreverbking]

@BENDITLIKEBAZZA

Listen to the Byrds with Clarence White. No need to go any farther imho.

[besallen]

Love the steel guitar licks!

You GOTTA tab those out somewhere.

[psychobollox]

i remember having a go on a b-bender tele in a shop in helsinki once... it was the best sex i had that year!

this was a cool vid to watch and tune to listen to! thank you :)

really good sound!

[Johi2410]

Great job! You did the steel part very nice, too!

Hats off, well done, this is one of my favorite instrumentals!

[heywoodjosh]

love this style

[superreverbking]

thanks

[kmd97]

cool :)

[superreverbking]

thanks

[bartobar]

that's for sure, the magic of this run is that mix of open G notes and closed hammer-on and pull-offs notes, in that bars, I'd say, which is so typical for Burton's playing though.

Wish you had this on tab, but I'll work on it closely. Anyway, it's great to know, that there is another guy on this planet picking this piece spot-on right!

[bartobar]

Thanks for replying re: Weber 12". It was a pleasant surprise to watch your vid 'Cornpicking', as I've figured that tune out also from the (one of my all-time essential listening) LP 'Cornpicking &Slicksliding', long time ago.

However, there's one lick, that I still haven't solid in my fingers, i.e: in the basic theme, after that little bend in G, hammer-on + open G-string. So, I'd really appreciate if you'd show what you're playing there, as it sounds so 100% close what you play. Thanks a lot!

[superreverbking]

I think you mean the part where I alternate pick between an open G and an F note on the fourth string, third fret.

[bartobar]

Yeah, exactly SR-king! ...how to explain or demonstrate that part?

[superreverbking]

i think they're just 8th notes. G, F, G,G

[braderrick]

Those b bender licks are beautiful just so you know!

[superreverbking]

thanks!

[superreverbking]

thanks for watching

[superreverbking]

will do!

[superreverbking]

there's so many good ones now, it's hard to say. truthfully, i would look for an old one from the 70's, used. they are spotty quality-wise, but they do that twang pretty well. modern teles are more "polite"

i had a '53 at one point that was great, and a '71 that was one of the best guitars i've owned.

[lespaul10]

Dittos on the 71...I had a 71 that smoked......great vid BTW

[superreverbking]

thanks

[superreverbking]

thanks for checking out the vid. btw, did your co-workers like it? :)

[jpipoto]

Wow dude! How do you get that sound? Is just the Tele through a Deluxe Reverb?

[superreverbking]

I reviewing the master track, I realize I added a bit of compression on the mixdown. The guitar was, therefore, compressed a bit. That's the only effect though.  The basic tone is just a decent Tele through a nice Fender amp. The reverb is the Deluxe's on "4.5"

[superreverbking]

thanks

[darek277]

good job! nice tone!
