Buster B. Jones, Fingers In Flight

[oldwhtman]

This sounds like it could have been written by Tommy Emmanuel. He left behind some great music.

[chilblain1]

Sounds like he's using a subtle Roland guitar synth patch underneath his picking. Very cool.

[homeskillet1962]

Beautiful.



[ianrkav]

What's the little brown box on the front of his guitar?

[homeskillet1962]

@ianrkav A tuner.

[ianrkav]

@homeskillet1962 Strange looking tuner! Ok thanks for that:-)

[delorean63]

superbe hommage :-)

This whole DVD (BBJ In Concert) is just ridiculously good.

[toquerodriguez]

que hermoso!!! espectacular sonido

[Manxcatstales]

I find this video rather confusing. I have a video that I filmed that predates this where Buster explains the origins of the song. He wrote the song in memory of his own father who made shadows on the wall with his hands of birds and other images-hence the name Fingers in Flight. I suspect Buster was bending the truth a bit in this video.

@Manxcatstales

That's interesting! Could you please upload this video ?!

[Manxcatstales]

@abaloneification Hi.... I uploaded this video this week. It's called -Buster B. Jones, 1999, CAAS, "Fingers In Flight". I have many videos of Buster and Tommy Emmanuel on my channel, please check them out.

This is a beautiful composition.

[ozpicker]

I almost got to meet Buster...we just started corresponding by email and he gave me some encouraging advise. I had organized my first trip to the states and planned to meet him. Sadly, not long before the trip he passed away, and Jerry Reed... I was so devastated and still am after watching this again. RIP Buster B Jones, Im still gonna come and visit you one day.

[jamanursula]

He gave me a fred kelly thumbpick and was very friendly guy at a clinic for godin..

[gillettewest]

I went to high school with Brad (Buster), Ames High School class of 1977. He was a nice guy that liked to hang out in the school lobby after classes and talk to the girls. There's a great write-up about him on the Godin Guitar website. Just Google his name and "Godin"

[merletravis]

thanx for marcel

[resopicker]

Pure beautiful.....RIP Buster......I never knew of you......sadly my loss.

[UrbanCOwBoy32]

so where can we find the sheet music? this is too good to not learn...

[stringbound]

@UrbanCOwBoy32 watch Buster and listen what he is doing. The tuning is dropped D. The close up on the fretboard shows you all that is needed to learn the song.

[needlerbug]

Where Can I download this song?????

[eric1love]

I hear strings in this?? midi guitar?

[Naminator99]

@eric1love yes

[eric1love]

Tks!

[TheEnglishRedneck45]

@eric1love I agree, some kind of synthesised strings when a note is held on for a certain amount of time.

[mitchskater]

watch his song skippy or back porch boogie and see if you can play them

[BirdmanWayne94]

This is beautiful...

[chenchomaracatu]

Brilliant

[tarcarion]

Skaedis, I wrote "Goodbye Buster B." when I heard the tragic news. I'll be posting in a week or so. I had planned to meet him at this year's CAAS. When I heard the news, I was inspired to compose this tribute. I'll post it as a video response on this page. Such a loss.

[LPFan3118]

He is a LEGEND!

Always will be!

[Swiftwinter]

Magic.

[skaedis]

I hope someone writes a song to honor you Buster. There are too many that did not get to hear you.

[tbcass]

Was there some kind of synthesized built in to that guitar?

[stclrob]

Yes, it's a Godin multiac series. You can connect it to Roland devices that have 13 pin connectivity. I think youtube has the tutorial videos for those guitars floating about.

[fr8qween]

Buster you , like Mzrcel, will be missed . you are loved so much! and you are a friend eo everyone whwereever you go

cristal

[SweeneyLovers]

lovely

[Adamasplayer]

RIP Buster, now you can play again with, Marcel Chet, Merle ....  Say hello to them for us ..... so long...

[LightWingStudios]

Buster passed away today.

[j3ohnny]

he can play,i don't like the tone of that guitar tho...seems real muffled maby the audio of the vid mite have somethin to do w/that..

[carvinrednine]

That's from the DVD "Buster B. Jones in Concert" and the soundman should have been SHOT. He was just the club's regular soundman (not someone specially for the DVD) and he was jealous of Buster's playing, so as the evening went on (I was there) it sounded worse and worse. Still, you can hear Buster's guitar well enough, though it is pretty muffled. It really pissed a lot of people off, though.

[j3ohnny]

no way?!thats to bad...what a shitty thing to do...i'm sure the soundman will get his,that sonna of a bitch!
