I have an old Harmony that I want to setup with a nut raiser for blues and swing and from searching on the forum I found that video and I am really amazed how good this guy is!
https://youtu.be/jpd1qOptcdg
He really sound like a guitar and even get all the the good rhythm witch I was thinking it was impossible on steel.
He play all the good 9th and 6th chord so Im thinking tuning mine to JM C6 /A7 add 9 but Im really curious if anybody know the tuning Glenn Ross Campbell use? |

| I messed a little with West Coast and Jump Blues tonight and I a think that with the Jerry Byrd C6/A7 everything is there! In his book he show a lot of positions for 7th and 9th chords, just just have to master the slants! |

He’s is a really good player (don’t know if he still plays), a kind of pioneer. Check him out with Juicy Lucy.
Sounds like a 6th tuning to me.

Mike, since I know you are probably the best to know if a guitar trick can be done on steel, do you think West Coast and Jump Blues (Jr Watson, William Clarke, Little Charlie, Duke Robillard...) comping with a 6 strings C6/A7 steel?
I would miss lot of bass (E string) but most of the sound can be done I guess. Like all the 2 notes Freddy Green stuff... |

Agreed. Juicy Lucy should have been more popular. Very few ever played steel like Campbell played steel.
circa 1971 |

| Maybe for my 6 strings archtop C#m EBEG#C#E can be good? I would get the guitar range (low E to high E) and be able to do most 2 and 3 notes harmonies. |

Jean-Sebastian - I am also a big fan of the Jump/West Coast sound and just heard a Speedy West track called "Skiddle Dee Boo" that reminded me of Tiny Grimes and T-Bone. I googled it and saw that Mike Neer offered it as a lesson back in 2011 (yes, I am late to the game...but still here!) https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=200169&sid=a0601e7377b266112ac40889e1b049ea
Mike, any thoughts of dusting it off and putting it back on the market?

I have maybe found a tuning that give me some important chords for blues.
C#m:
EC#EG#C#E
I just take the C#m and raise the low B to C# to get more 6th, 7th and 9th chord for comping.
I want to be able to comp like a guitar and do solos. If it work it will be my acoustic tuning for everything (blues, swing, country, hawaiien).
I made a little video, I know its messy but I just try to find some stuff on the tuning.

After lots of playing searching for chord and stuff I realized the best is really C13.
I will have to look to put an 8 strings neck on my archtop of simply keep playing my Clinesmith JM for blues too. |

This is what I would suggest! If I need a more bluesier/jazzier sound on my acoustic lapsteel without losing the bass, I raise the second string of the Open-D tuning from A to B. |
