This is for those of you who have been playing E9th for years on years and never really got a handle on C6th as much as you would like. the Buddy Emmons C6th Basic Course that is available right here on the forum is amazing. I have always dreamed of getting the same level of expertise on C6th that I have on E9th. I have been playing professionally since 1977 and always wanted to get better on C6th. Never had the chance as I needed to sound good for my gigs and always fell back on E9th. Well this small course is incredible. After an hour with it I already have advanced a great deal. I am sure I am not the only one with this situation so y'all check it out.....  |

| The only thing I regret about my playing years is that I had a fear of the C6th neck (for some dumb reason) and so I avoided learning it until after I had been playing E9 for 18 years. Now I only play C6th and I can tell you its not that difficult at all. Don't be afraid of it. |

Actually, I just sold my last copy, but I've ordered more. They should be here in a week or so. You can also get it from http://www.buddyemmons.com of course...

3 years ago, i was a C6 newbie.
BE's Basic C6 is what got me started.
Buddy's courses and tabs are great cause they get you playin'in no time.
what a treat to have Buddy share his knowledge and chops.
Big Thanks "E"

| Ron, after you finish with Buddy's fine course you might give these a try: the 2 Herby Wallace C6 courses (HWP 200 and HWP 201 come with audio cassettes/tab books) and Jeff Newman's "C6 and Swinging" 4 hour video (perhaps DVD by now) that comes with two tab books and 6 "pockets" charts. All three of these guys know how to play and teach. Perhaps b0b has all these too. Have fun, steve |

| I've been making progress on C6 lately. It's a very nice tuning, and more complex than I imagined. I have the whole SteelGuitar magazine series, and Herbie Wallace has a few ariticles that got me off and running. I am definitely ready for more info, so the Buddy Emmons stuff sounds like something to check out, as well as Herbie's. |

Buddy's C6 Beginner's course is wonderful, as are all the tabs from the "Swingin'" series. I just want to know when we can have some more. Buddy? More???

My experience mirrors Ron's, almost to the year. I started in 1978. I'm also going through the course. And I'm working my way through "Blues to Use," which you can get on Buddy's website for free. Just download the tab and MP3. I'm learning almost as much just going through that tune as the course.

I can sympathize with many of the above remarks. I quit playing in 1970 because among many other reasons, the E9 had become the dominant sound and I had never played that tuning.
In about 1984 when I began playing again, the first thing I had to do was learn to play the E9 tuning. For about two years, the C6 was my "fallback" escape hatch when I got in trouble with the E9.
If it is any comfort, I can say that today I am equally comfortable on either C6 or E9 tuning!

I can understand where Gene is coming from.
I really wasn't E9 oriented at all, it is coming now, but I really spent all my 1st 5-6 months doing C6, getting from 6 strings to 10 with pedals.
I have never regreted that left way round the barn approach.
And that was greatly facilitiated by borrowing Crowbear's Emmons TAB for a week or two. Worth it borrowed or bought.
And I have Herbie Wallace's and some Jeff Newman too.
Once you understand the greater parts of the logic you can go on your own search and find lots more. |
