| I read today in a long British written article on the history of pedal steel guitars that Tom cut this iconic solo using a Fender 1000 steel guitar.. I know he used a Fender very early on in his career with Buck Owens, but e'er thought he had started using his ZB by the fourth dimension Together Once more was released,, Does anyone know if this fantastic solo was indeed played by Tom on his old Fender steel?... bob _________________ I'1000 over the hill and hittin'rocks on the fashion down! no gear list for me.. you don't have the fourth dimension...... |

| Tom did indeed use a Fender 1000 when he cut "Together Again". When he got hired by Cadet, he was told in that location was already a steel in California for him to utilize so, he left his Fender in Texas. To brand a long story curt, when he finally got to see the guitar information technology was torn apart and zero worked. He and Don Rich worked on it and got two pedals working before the session. That is why most of the song was played on 2 strings because they were the only ones that worked. Rolene Brumley withal has the amp and bar that Tom used on the session. The Fender 1000 went back to Fender and they replaced it with a new one. Greg |

| Tom'due south solo involves full pedals, one-half pedals and slants. I learned it from Jeff Newman back in the late 70'due south. That's why the top notation seems to stay the same, while the lower notation drops. _________________ Jack Aldrich Carter & ShoBud D10's D8 & T8 Stringmaster Rickenbacher B6 3 Resonator guitars Asher Alan Akaka Special SN half dozen Canopus D8 |

| And just think he did the original with two pedals. I read the same story in Bucks biography. The guitar was previously played past Jay MacDonald. Buck and the boys had a Fender endorsement. |

| Recently, I spoke with Norm Hamlet. He told me an interesting bit of trivia that is worth sharing. Like about of the greats, years agone Norm had a Fender 1000 also. Every bit the story goes, Buck Owens loved the sound of a steel guitar and actually played one in his before years. Evidently, Buck loved it, but never actually became very proficient with a steel. Norm sold his Fender 1000 to Buck Owens, and just equally yous would await, Norm wishes he had it today. Norm Hamlet, very nice gentleman, very adept steel guitarist. Craig |

Full pedals - yeah. Half pedals - yes. But no slants are required to play the solo that Tom did! |

| Has anyone tabbed the original Brumley solo? The tqb I have virtually certainly does not contain any one-half pedals..... |

| The tone of that steel was immaculate.. I mean as lovely as anything ever cut on any pedal steel.. I accept seen a video of Tom using a later Fender [curt scale].. Could that sound REALLY have come from the later on model Fender 1000?.. The early on Fenders with long scale, stamped pedals [not cast], and Jazzmaster/P90 style pickup WERE highly regarded as beingness good sounding steels, but the later ones[brusk calibration,cast pedals, black painted frame, Jaguar fashion pickup] were not highly regarded for tone.. I volition submit that if that steel was indeed a later on model thou, a lot of Fender guys will be surprised.. Having owned several afterward cable Fenders I can say that NONE of them sounded like Brumleys.... bob no gear list for me.. you don't have the time...... |

Agreed.. I get it pretty close[nevertheless a very poor false of Tom's touch of course] and don't utilize any slants.. Several one-half pedals still... bob _________________ I'm over the loma and hittin'rocks on the way down! no gear list for me.. you don't have the time...... |

| Bob, you are correct. The "Together Again" guitar was in fact i with the stamped pedals, jazzmaster style pickups and ivory in color. Tom told me when he got the newer version from Fender, he didn't like it almost as well as the old one. Tom afterwards switched to Sho~Bud for a very short while and then got his 1st ZB in 1965 and the remainder is history!!! Greg |

| "The guitar was previously played by Jay MacDonald. Buck and the boys had a Fender endorsement." (Craig Davidson) Is this the "Together Again" guitar? |

| I accept never noticed any half pedals or slants in the original together again solo. The only tricky part is the lowering of 5 thursday string which is washed by raising the 3rd cord with the B pedal while sliding down a half step . And then moving support a half stride while letting off the B pedal. That leaves the note on the 3rd string the same while moving the 5st down a one-half step. It is a beautiful and perfect solo but there is goose egg circuitous most information technology outside of that one crafty motion. Many steel ready ups accept a 5st half pace lower available on a lever these days making the tricky B pedal movement unnessisary. |

| Bob, that is exactly the way Tom show the movement to me in the threescore's. Takes a while to perfect it, but a neat motion. |

| I one-half pedal in that solo. When raising the 5th string a whole tone, and then letting of the A pedal, moving the fifth string to the no pedal position, before sliding back one fret and hitting the B pedal, I half pedal the fifth cord movement. It may non be what Brumley did, merely information technology is style absurd. _________________ Carter D10 8p/8k, Regal RD40 Dobro, "The Loar" (brand) mandolin, Cozart D6 lap steel, NV400,Mackie 12 ch mixer, Ibanez acoustic/electric guitar.

| I also have never heard slants or half pedaling in that solo. Could be wrong of course. When working with beginner steel players I use this solo every bit an example of how much music can exist made with strings 3 and 5. Such an amazing piece of music. |

Information technology was a long-scale Fender k...had to be, as the brusk-scale models had not yet been introduced when "Together Again" was cut. |

| This motion-picture show was captured from a DVD. He was playing Together Once again. Non certain of the date, but it was recorded in Oklahoma City, not long after the song was released. |

THIS picture is what prompted my question.. I accept seen information technology before, and Tom in this photo appears to be playing a "subsequently" model Fender.. All I have to go by is the sunburst color and black frame which were not seen in the long scale versions of the Fender cable guitars to my knowledge. I wish I could get a expert look at the span pattern. Could it have been a "transitional" instrument? .. sure I suppose so, but in any of the former videos i take seen of Tom in his pre ZB days, he was playing a sunburst/blackness frame Fender.. Its no large bargain of course, but does brand for interesting debate... bob _________________ I'chiliad over the loma and hittin'rocks on the way downward! no gear list for me.. y'all don't have the time...... |

| This seems to be the Fender 1000 that Greg mentions came after the 1 Tom used for "Together once again." Buck got it for him from Fender, and as Rolene - Tom`s wife - pointed out, it would accept been unlike Tom to put his own name on the guitar, so Buck must accept had it put there. Unassuming equally he was, touting his own horn was merely not his mode. You mention that this film is from a tv show, - is it the show where he plays a niggling from Bud`s Bounce? |

| Steinar - On that clip, they just played Tiger Past The Tail and Together Again. The moving picture is 1 of 3 that I sent to Rolene after Tom's passing. The other two prove him with the Sho~Bud and the early ZB. I have only sent those to ane other person other than her. I had planned on posting them on the Forum, simply I don't remember if did. Out of the video, I captured over l stills. Did anyone notice the forward slant he is using in the pic? In the video, he used both frontwards and reverse slants on Together Again. |

| Brumley's subtle and dandy volume pedal work on Together Again is harder to mimic than the actual pedal and bar work. Listen closely, run across if y'all can audio like Tom! _________________ E9 INSTRUCTION ▪️ If y'all want to accept an ongoing discussion, please electronic mail me, don't utilise the Forum messaging which I detest! steelguitarlessons@earthlink.net |
