Towards the end when he plays those super high notes, is mind boggling! He was capable of conveying and evoking such feeling through the steel guitar , and teaches us that when to pick, when not to, string selection and octive use, volume levels at any given moment are crucial to get the emotion from the instrument. Then there's the thing he can't teach, his gift ,being Buddy Emmons..
Buddy Emmons 1) Makes it look so easy 2) Makes you want to go home and buy a pedal steel and learn to play 3) Makes you realize how little you know and why he's so great. One of a kind...
Folks, I know I'm overdoin' it, but isn't this the most beautiful instrument in the whole world, and isn't Buddy one of the greatest players in the whole world? That's all I can say. Marc Trainor.
You know what I think-God gave this man a gift, he developed it, and he's still the Big E to me. A little grey hair, hasn't slowed him down yet, and thank God he's still got it. Marc Trainor
I think I went through about 5 kleenex's during this song...If Buddys playing does not bring you to tears on this..you might not not have any business playing steel guitar..( just kiddin)...so sweet.
How does any human being play this good. I'm not sure, and in a live performance to boot!!!. There's no player in the world who can play like Buddy Emmons, in my eyes. Marc Trainor.
This is my favourite buddy emmons melody . Of all the pedal steel players we describe as awesome Buddy is better than awesome. He has been at the top of the tree for about 50 years and there is still noone to quite touch him, the complete player. the two previous comments say it all ,BEAUTIFUL PERFECTION.
Wow..He is the Best..Great Job Buddy..I've Been Listen to you for some 40 years or so and you Just Keep getin Better..ha..uh with Peggy's help..Tell Her Hi for me..See ya in St. Louis.. Diane Wagner

A wee `oops` moment on the intro. Makes no difference to us mere mortals, though. I hope he is keeping well.

This is what a "steeler" friend of mine used to say... just kidding.
Never, we keep on playing with our limitations...
