I figured out "Maybe You'll Be There" By Tom Morrell if you need help.

I've been working on my own tunes, also some tunes that local songwriters sent me to add some steel. So, all original;)

| I’ve usually got three or four songs on my “hot†list. Currently, I’ve been working on “Singing the Blues†(Bix version), “Pennies From Heaven†and “On the Sunny Side of the Street†(thanks to Mikaya Matsuda for that one). |

Very interesting list Bo...I have never worked on McAuliffe E13, but your list makes me want to look into it more...do you work from tab on these or by ear, and does this particular tuning lend itself well to Night and Day, Lover and There will never be another you...or do you just hear it in that tuning as opposed to C6th-just curious...
Thanks for all the responses guys...I find it interesting to know what tunes and which tunings people are using. Keep it up !

In McAuliffe E13 tuning, the first two chords of Night and Day just sort of jump out of the tuning. The first chord is a Dm7b5 with a G melody note. This is the same as Bb13(no root). In McA E13 this is at the 6th fret, strings 6,4,2. The notes are Ab D G, which is a spicy quartal voicing of Bb13. The second chord is a G7 at the third fret on strings 6,4,1.
The first part of Lover is just basically straight across at 11, 10, 9, 8, etc. Works great.
Buddy Emmons does "There Will Never..."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIlXXWmJMYw
In the second 16 bars of the head he starts playing I guess what's called block chords. The melody harmonized with two(?) lower voices. I can't quite get that sound. But it's reasonably close. That kind of thing sits really well in McA E13. It's actually pretty straightforward to get three-note harmonized scales going in McA E13.
For tunes I want to learn I'll get the sheet music, can usually find it online, and slowly, and with LOTS of help from the Ely chord locator
http://hawaiiansteel.com/chordlocator/generic.php
I generate ASCII TAB, and then practice over and over.
Cheers!

My first Chord is similar Dm11b5 with G melody note then the G7 same positions as the McAuliffe E13 tuning is embedded in my tuning.
We should catch up and exchange Ideas.
There will never be another you is there all the Chord voicings.

| "Apache", you might notice at the top of the arrangement it says "A flatpick works best for this song". |
This to me is the greates advantage of taking off the picks from fingers but leave the thumbpick. I've finally settled into the Golden Gate X-Tra heavy behomoth thumbpicks, but shortened and reshaped to even out the attack of down- and up-strokes. If you hold your hand upside down, the shape is like a shark snacking on your thumb and heading up your wrist... Sonny Landreth, t-pick only semi-trem'd-out:

Damn. Songwise I can't get over what's happen to little teen idol John Mayer & Otie of the Allmans, at their best they have that QUESTING thing going on, and this is bestish:

I have found that Willie Nelson songs sound better with a flat pick on the dobro.
I was working on Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground, and just happened to grab a flat pick one day when I couldn't find my fingerpicks, and I was like, Oh Yeah, this is the sound! |

When I realized how easily I can change B11 to C#m9 I immediately started to work on Paradise Isle.
