| That would be Al Marcus's Lean & Mean tuning. You'' find it if you use the search function, or perhaps Al will respond in kind. |

| Check out Al Marcus's website. Al has it about as close as you can get. There is no way to have it all on a single 10, but you sure can fool a lot of people with a little creativity and dexterity! The quest for a true 10-string universal tuning can lead you down many roads. If you enjoy learning...you will, but if you want something that is already worked out for you by someone who has years of experience,check out Al's website. If you want an alternative...try the Zane Beck 12-string setup without strings 10 & 12 (G# & B). There is a great deal written on Zane's tuning. Just do a search through the Forum archives. If you still can't quite get what you want,send me an e-mail and I'll try to help you work it out.~~W.C.~~ |

| The Late Great Bobby Boyd had one that I vaguely remember was very cool. Maybe Jim Bob Sedgwick will have it. |

I have a Sho-Bud Pro-1 S10 that is now a 7x5 S10U (ala Duane Marrs shop).
I just left off the bottom 2 strings of the S12U tuning.
I have since changed string 10 to an E (instead of G#) for more of a rock base on a mainly E9th gig I have, but string 10 is one of those things that can be easily changed at will.

Here's a pretty good one IMHO....JH in Va.
LKL LKV LKR 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 RKL RKR
F#
D# D C#
G# G A
E F# F D#
B A# C# C# C#
G# G A A#
F# G# F
E D F D#
B C# C# C
E F# F D# C#
You can handle just about any situation you encounter with this setup. In addition to the above, you could add a lower to A# of the 5th string on pedal 7 if desired.....JH in Va.

I had an email asking me what the E to F# was used for on the 10th string on the B pedal. Try this: Tune your 10th string to F#, go to the 2nd fret and play strings 6, 8, and 10 with the 8th sting lowered to Eb (D#) but don't fret the 10th string so it'll be open and act as if it hadn't been tuned a whole step up. Next, still at the 2nd fret, put the bar over the 10 string and release the 8th string lower and add the B pedal to raise the 6th string a half. Remember, the only strings you're playing are 6, 8, and 10. Go to the 3rd fret still using the B pedal, go up one more fret for the last move still holding down the B pedal. Remember with the universal I listed above, the 10th string E to F# would be on the B pedal. Whatever fret you start this move it will be from low to high: Root, maj7, 3rd on top. After the move it will be a 3rd on the bottom, 2 or 9th in the middle, and a 5 on top just like the movement in Nitelife. JH in Va.

| I play what is sort of a U10. Its a B6th from top to bottom. I use 3 pedals to raise the B triad to an E chord in just the same way that the E9 pedals raise the E triad to A. The knees that raise and lower the B string (3rd string on B6th) work just like the knees on the E9. The reason I do this is because I mostly play the 6th neck and I don't care for the way the E9 Universal works. If you're big into country music this is not the tuning for you though. Don |
