I've seen this and it is great. Thanks for posting for all the ones that have not seen it.

And that's the great Rob Hajacos on fiddle.
AUTHORIZED PEAVEY, George L's, Goodrich dealer. I have 2 steels and several amps. My current rig of choice is 1993 Emmons LeGrande w/ 108 pups (Jack Strayhorn built for me), Goodrich OMNI Volume Pedal, George L's cables and Peavey Nashville-Session 112 or 115.

That's great. That triple neck Fender steel (custom) has got to be worth a small fortune. I'll start the bidding at $16000. Keep me updated. Thanks, Tommy.....

Sounds like pedals at 1:33. This is not a live video. Still cool, though.

I believe Mike Neer is correct....sounds like a pedal pull to me.

Sure appears to be a video with BE "finger and bar sync-ing" to the album recording.

Albeit still really neat!

Thanks Paul for clearing it up. One never knows with the Great Buddy Emmons! You will go down in history as well.
