You are at level one in your C6 playing in basic chords, you've heard a particular set of altered chord subs in a 251 or 6251 etc and for the life you can't figure out where they are yet on the neck. AURGH!!! I'm sure there are lots out there who feel my pain.
It's a hard go being a jazz/C6 noob 😊
Merry Christmas to everone. |

Quentin, I feel your pain.
When i first started trying to copy Curly Chalker, it drove me bat crazy trying to figure out where he was and how he was doing it. Same thing when I listen to Tom Morrell.
I took a few lessons from the Late Reece Anderson many years ago. He helped out a bunch. |

If jazz was easy, everybody would play it. (You know you would! Playing jazz is never being wrong.)
Merry Christmas, Quentin and everybody. Looking forward to your posting some jazz sometime. Cow jazz is also always acceptable. |

| Have a look at the late Vance Terry's pedal arrangement and then try and figure things out. GOOD LUCK!!!! |

Oh, yes!! It's so much harder to figure out by ear what's going on than on E9. I think it's partly because the notes are usually closer together and so harder to distinguish, and maybe because the root is absent more often than not.
I share Mike's philosophy of "keep on pickin'" - I'm finding it slow but rewarding. If as a not-quite-newbie I can offer a tip, it would be "If you do find a chord by accident - write it down!"

Just by virtue of the A-B pedals on E9, 1 to 4 and 5 to 1 chord changes are built into the tuning. So country songs, which predominantly use the simplest of chord progressions, and easily recognizable, gravitate to that tuning.
The C6 tuning and its pedal changes are friendlier to 1-6-2-5 progressions and their substitutions. Hearing those changes and recognizing them and where they're going requires more musical listening experience.

Great points:
Don't you hate it when:
You are looking for any notation or tab for E13 or Leavitt stuff and there are none available.
