Topic: 6th chords on E9 |

Hi steelers,
To play 6 chords on the E9, I have been lowering the Es. Let’s say lowering Es 8th fret to play G6. Also, I saw Troy teaching using AB pedals playing 87654 on 10th fret to play G6. I think the 1 string also gives a 6.
Are these the positions you use to get a 6 chord on the E9?
Are there other positions you use?
Thank you for any guidance you can give.

I usually just substitute a minor chord for the 6th.
G 6th is: G B D E. I substitute an E minor: E G B.
Or if it calls for a D, I play a straight G chord. |

See my short tutorial link below. It shows for example the 6th scale notes with pedals one and two activated.

"Comments About Note Pockets
Pocket 1
This is just pedals 1 and 2 activated and on the chart below is shown in the key of C at the 3rd fret. On E9th this gives you 8 notes of the C6 scale, 6 of which line up with the top 6 strings of the standard C6 tuning, G,E,C,A,G,E high to low." |

| Try to find Buddy Emmon's E9 Expedition. I think it only came out on cassette. He does a version of I Love You Because on the E9th neck that's very 6th-y sounding |

On the E9, the ninth that gives it its name (F#) becomes the 6th when you depress A & B, and A6 is a recognised non-pedal tuning. And then you have the C6-type chords got from lowering the Es. So plenty of choice!

| Maybe you know this one already - it's kind of just a restatement of what Erv says, but you can just use your A pedal to raise your B string (the 5th of the open E chord) to C# (the 6th of the open E chord)- it's the same as C# minor chord. You can throw in the low D and have I nice E13th chord, too. |

Now we're talking!
What's the combination for a demented chord?  |

Greg,
Sand is a tricky song to play on E9th as it was originally written for B11th.
You did it up right nicely.  |

| Erv, Root- flat 3rd- flat fifth (diminished chord) But I never think of it that way. I think of it as either minor-flat five, or seven flat nine, depending on how I'm using it. |

Tom,
Demented not diminished. |

Visualize the intervals and the position possibilities will just jump up at you and if you know your pedals and levers you can see all the possibilities.

Or take a major chord and raise the root.

| That was my point Lane. Take a C7 chord, raise the root, it's a C7 flat-9. I just think in terms of the altered note only. |
