I love this song- Morse/Bluegrass content

[robelinda2]

Rocky Top - this tune has been played every day for months in my guitar room, both the Morse live version, and the original Osborne Bros version too.

Hey Rob

Do you have a good tablature of Rocky Top ? Yesterday, I spent some time with Runaway Train ... bluegrass is killing me !

 

[robelinda2]

Runaway Train is all time favourite Morse tune, just great great great. I dont have any tab for Rocky Top, the morse live version is superb, I guess I just try to learn the correct feel for the tune, its just so fast to solo over well! Easy to do it bad.

 

[robelinda2]

bump for Morse goodness.

 

[mantrarock]

Mr. LaRue's solo is quite nice too!

 

[Butch Snyder]

Yep, that chicken pickin' stuff is very fun to play and I've yet to find a guitar that can do it as well as my AL could...

 

[fogman]

thanks Rob.
I'd never heard that one before

[guitarman23]

Hey Rob,

I just remembered, one of the coolest things I ever saw was Steve Morse and Albert Lee playing together on a booth at the Franfurt Music Fair about 20 years ago. That was wicked

 

[robelinda2]

Morse and AL together wouldve been insane!

 

[NorM]

Have you ever heard the duet entitled General Lee?
There was also the Biff Babies bash in late 05. The guitarists were Morse, Luke, Lee and BP. The 20th proto was there too. What a privilage it was for me to attend that show.

 

[robelinda2]

general lee is cool.

 

[robelinda2]

WOAH, not Morse or Albert, but cool!

this was many years ago. jimmy was always a monster . in his teens he would sit outside the clubs and listen to steve. he once told me he finially had to make himself not sound like steve. he is.....and always was a terrifying player. & one of the most humble people you'd ever meet.

Dayum ... some killer playing.

If I just heard that I'd swear Herring's playing was actually Morse. He's got the feel and note choice and even close to Steve's earlier tone. Whoa.
