| Im familiar with the basic E9th chord grips but what about C6th are there any that would be good to know so I can get a basic idea of how the C6th neck works. |

Here is a chart I did when learning C6 6 string lap steel. It corresponds to strings 2 - 7 of the standard C6 pedal steel...
The red lines are bar slants. I used them on lap steel, and since it was hard for me to use the right side pedals on a C6 neck, I used the slants on pedal steel also.

If by grips you mean things like 8-6-5 and 6-5-4 etc on the E9, then the important ones on the C6 are 9-6-4, 8-5-3, 7-5-4, 6-4-3 and 5-3-2. With those and just pedals 5&6 you can do a lot. With four picks you can fill in the gaps and get real close harmony, but it generally sounds cleaner with three.

| To get nice big orchestral chords, you need to be able to strum up to four strings with your thumb and grab two more with your fingers. |

Btw, doing this is called a rake.
When you go forward with your thumb striking 2 or more strings and backwards with your fingers, the motion is similar to a snap.

When I started playing 10 string pedal steel C6 tuning Doug Seymour showed me a song that included most of the standard wide and narrow C6 grips. Check out "No One Will Ever Know" on the link below. The tab is there along with a sound file to hear what it should sound like.
