Superb playing Doug, as always..
You ask how many members play the C6/A7 tuning, well I'm constantly being asked for tab in that tuning by our magazine readers.
I've post one on the forum, Click Here |

| Doug - Would you consider tabbing out your tune for a fee ? I could try it by ear but it wouldn't sound the same. Thanks - Rich |

| No slouch in the composition department, either. I think it's a better tune than most of the old-chestnut steel guitar instrumental "hits", and I like that you didn't play it "past its welcome"! "Valco Swing" (great name) deserves to become part of the steel "book" and the tab will help. Nice work... |

So is the vibraphone real or synthesized ? |

You're absolutely right, Doug. I listened to it again. What I hadn't realized was that at the end of your number my computer tagged right into the previous file played, which happened to be in the same key and the same tempo as yours. 
I liked your little composition, and, of course, it doesn't need a vibraphone... |

| yeah, fun stuff. between doug's offerings and greg cutshaw (who offers tons of free licks on his website) this tuning could become very popular again. |

One day I hope to be able to duplicate something like that! I am a raw beginner on lap steel, but I am lucky enough to have Merle Travis' 1952 Fender Stringmaster 8, which was given to me by Wesley Tuttle. I can play along with several recordings, but very seldom get a chance to play live with anyone.
I'm new here and plan on soaking up a lot of knowledge!
Thanks for the sound files. Let's hear more! |

C6/A7 is more popular than I thought it was. I can see why; it's a great tuning.
