Little Roy Wiggins Memory Time Songbook (Book/CD Set)

"Little" Roy Wiggins - Memory Time (Book/CD Set)

The album has long been out of print, but Mel Bay has reissued DeWitt Scott's songbook of Little Roy's classic arrangements. The songs are tabbed for 8-string E13th (B D E G# B C# E G#). We recommend our 8 string Steel Guitar Forum E13th pure nickel string set for this tuning.

From Mel Bay Publications' website:  The name Little Roy is misleading! He was considered an Icon during those early years and was the most imitated player at that time era. That era is long past but the popularity of Little Roy continues today. Like so many other players Roy used the E13th tuning but had his own sound that complimented Eddy's singing style. Many players still use this tuning and is your chance to see and hear the sounds that made Roy popular. And more importantly, You will be able to duplicate his musical arrangements by use of the tablature in this book. The tablature will allow even the novice to play these arrangements as it is presented in a very simple manner. Any serious minded fan of Little Roy Wiggins will want his book!

Roy's arrangements are a real "master class" for non-pedal steel guitarists. Every harmonic, bar slant, glissando and trill has been meticulously captured in tab by DeWitt "Scotty" Scott. The included CD is actually a copy of the out-of-print LP, so you can hear exactly how Roy played these songs!
