at :38 just listen to the control Buddy exhibits; the precision with which he executes that 16th note flourish. Wow. An extraordinarily gifted professional of the highest rank.

Your dam right about that. Buddy Charlton is the guy who really made me to dig deeper in the great world of pedal steel guitar.Players to day may play more chords and play alot faster,but they dont have the smoothness of a Buddy Charlton brand of steel

@@MrPatdeeee I so remember when EMMONS helped Leon Rhodes to excellence. Then when Charleton came on board with ET, Buddy became a master playing with Leon. Funny how worked that way. They had to dig and did it.

My dad raised me listening to these guys on albums. To this day they are my favorite musicians for sure. Leon was the best guitarist of his time and will always be in my opinion best picker that Nashville has had. Never heard him chicken-pickin but I imagine he could do that as well. So glad to have talked to him a few years before he passed. Great person.

Yup. We have the Hawaiian influence to be thankful for. They are the ones who came up with slide. Think about it: all those guitars brought over by imported vaqueros to control the results of King Kamehameha's kapu (protected by decree) on a gift of some cattle. You KNOW a lot of those guitars bowed over time in tropical conditions, rendering them unplayable in the style for which they were designed. The Hawaiians were a very creative and playful people with no European influences. They are the ones who f'd around with these "ruined" guitars by altering the tunings - "slacking" the strings to create open chords. The slide technique was only a playful experiment away. This was in the mid 19th century, mind you. And it spread like wildfire across the Pacific.
