I am thinking Jerry Byrd was on this recording was working on it with the E6th but I do believe in order to get that first wah wah of the break involves bar movement along with volume swell. and that can not be got on E6th anyone wanna chime on on this to let me know it was jerry's C6th

| I usually used A6 when working Byrd on Hank Williams stuff. The timber and feel seems to work pretty well with that particular tension. |

| I'd have to imagine Jerry Byrd was using his favorite tuning of that day and time; C6th/A7th. |

yeah I pulled out a guitar with C6th on it and thats what it was funny you have two tunings C6th and E6th but yet you find a song like this one that has to be c6th if you want to copy the original, and not just move it on the fretboard

Posted 19 Sep 2013 7:26 pm JERRY BYRD and his early favorite tunings................
|
|
Back in the earliest days (1939), while he was still on his first 'national stage' at the RENFRO VALLEY BARN DANCE in Ohio and Kentucky playing with Ernie Lee........he was using C#min almost exclusively.
Moving on as he did to Ernest Tubb's Texas Troubadors, he was using C6th. Not sure when he added the A7th chord aspect to it. But he pretty much stuck with that tuning for decades.
Later on, Jerry started using A6th (Hilo March), B11th for "Steelin' the Chimes" and many variations of other tunings as his mood changed. Ultimately in Hawaii he depended heavily on his C Diatonic tuning, while on occasion using C6th or E7th.
Thanks Clyde......very nice of you.
For those who might not know, the JERRYBYRD-FANCLUB.com site has many, many of Jerry's performances to listen to. |

I worked on this song a few years ago. When I first heard it I thought C#minor but it works on C6th However as you can see in the tab I use a 7th string with a low A (042)
Here is a clip of my playing and also some Tablature.
Hope it is of some help?
