I just finished watching the JayDee Maness video. It is nearly 4 hours long. Excellent material and lots of licks and valuable insight into his playing style. Highly recommend.

Well, with that pretentious and condescending post, I bid you all farewell.

Slowly but surely I've stopped thinking in E9 or C6th. Starting to think in D13.

That is true, but P5 also sharps the minor third D of the minor chord that would be rooted on the low B string.

But you have the D on string 9. Bottom four strings would be B2T: 1 5 1 b3 : B F# B ...

I think a 13th string low B on the bottom would be nice though

P5 puts a low B on strings 12 and 10 already. So an extra string really isn't necessary.

It is also posted on the sierra instagram account.

I figure most hadn't seen either the Sierra thread or the instagram account which is why I started this thread.

As I said in my original post, my foot has very little movement. I didn't realize how much mobility you needed in your foot or I would never have purchased it. I had a very nice pedal steel, the frust ...

I don't see any advantage to extending it to 13 or 14 strings and I see a lot of disadvantages. Right now, the D13 tuning is setup with the exact same intervals as E9 with the added root on the bottom ...

Looks like they are out of stock now. I wonder when they will make more Any ideas?

Out of curiosity, why did you want the top and bottom not to match?

Before you think dobro is just for bluegrass, might want to check out Jerry Douglas:

and

My advice: get a dobro. Start there. 6 string. GBDGBD. Nice thing about the dobro is

1. You can play all the music you listed on a dobro.
2. You don't have to invest in amps and speakers or peda ...

I've been thinking of this very subject recently.

My move to D13 has allowed me to rethink what I want to do on this instrument. It is just far enough removed from E9 and C6 cliches to make it som ...

I had a Hilton and it always bugged me having to plug a vp in. I tried non powered as well.

I've been using these picks for five days now. Can't see myself ever using anything else. Best picks I've ever used. And I have vintage nationals from years of case candy. These are better. YMMV

Before jumping into the E9/B6 pool:

Remember you still need to "think" in TWO different tunings. If I'm thinking in E9th mode, my root C position in on the 8th fret. If I'm thinking in B ...

Love to know that brand Roger. I'll order a pair today.
