Interesting...
Maybe lighter strings would be a good thing to try.
They are certainly a bit of a pain to hook on though I discovered.. Laughing

Apparently someone asked Tom Morell about G vs D on top of C6. if I have it right he basicall said, "well, with G on top, you can play all the stuff you've got worked out for the G on top. And wi ...

What do you recommend as a good cleaning agent?
Detailed description above is very helpful.

A friend of mine has a mid 70s Classic D10.
I've been going over it and fine tuning some things.
The E neck changer is pretty clean, and the pedals move easily and smoothly.

The back neck has pr ...

Hi Louis

At first glance it looks like an awful load on some pedals/levers. 4 pulls on RR and pedal 0 might be a bit much, but may be possible...

A copedent chart with actual pitches could be a ...

I just set up a GFI pull-release S10 for a student last week. I put 1 & 7 raising a
half tone F# to G on RKL, but I'm pretty sure it would have been possible to raise them both to G#. There were ...

I also raise string 6 G# to A# on the zero pedal.
It combines seamlessly with the adjacent A pedal C#s to create a whole world of F# rooted voicings, especially when Es are lowered or raised. Also m ...

You can always string up your front neck as E9/B6 and the transition would be seamless for you... Top 10 strings of Uni12. Only difference from standard E9 is the B ( and levered D ) on string 9, and ...

If I had only one string on a washtub bass I would use a Peterson

A 'sweetened' tuning is any tuning system that, theoretically, brings 2 or more strings closer to natural resonance, based on overtones, or the harmonic overtone series.
Usually this results in majo ...

Great playing Stephen.
Nice tune...killer harmonies!

So on the C6 neck, going from C7 -> Cdom7, pedal 5 down, you would slide the bar from Fret 12 to Fret 10 to get that dominant sound? That would change fret 12 (C,F,A,C,E,G,A,C,E,D) to (C,D,Bb,G,E,D ...

I would think a low B would fit nicely on the bottom of D13. I understand you get that note on the equivalent of C6 pedal 8, but a low independent root of the Bm7 aspect, that isn't tied up in that B7 ...

Very tempted to try it. But what to do with the extra 2 pedals and 2 levers on my 5X5? I could get in a lot of trouble here. Laughing

Regarding time management, there's a lot of 'mental practice' one can do while away from the instrument. Waiting for a bus, walking, etc, you can go over scales, grips, voicings, tunings, pedal combin ...

I don't hear about that many people using 6th tunings with the 6th on top.
Ya Tim, that's generally true. However, the Bb6 tuning usually has the maj 6th tone as the highest..

Playing a chord voicing and then sliding one note up to be part of the next chord?
