B Bowman Hop

Post by Ethan Shaw »

This is one of the hardest things I've ever played! Once you try to play it cleanly, you can see what an amazing steeler Billy Bowman was! Also, catch the season finale of Raising the Bar all November on steelradio.org! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K60_Xy0L37A

A Little Mental Health Warning:

Tablature KILLS SKILLS.
The uses of Tablature is addictive and has been linked to reduced musical fertility.
Those who produce Tablature did never use it.

I say it humorously, but I mean it.

Thanks for posting that, George! I know he mostly played pedal steel at that point. Do you know what neck he was playing it on? The original is in E13, and you need all those open strings. E9 lets you have the B or C#, but not both at once.
