| The first version is Pete Drake for sure, a classic example of his early C-6th style that got him established. |

In all three, I am surprised that the producers did not leave a lot of room for any instrument, let alone steel, to do much fill work. Even the "solos" were short. Yeah, it IS about Webb Pierce, after all, but still.

Good to know. Must have been a fork in the road back when or we'd all be playing C6:) Commercial country would have sounded way different. Why'd we take the E9 path--is it really any better? Who knows...
Sneaky Pete kept the 6th: a standard non-pedal tuning dropped down a step. (Invented his own copedent?) He played the bejesus out of Hawaiian songs on his solo records. |

That was during the time E9th was in it's infancy. The were no F# and D# stings yet. Pete played C6th on tons of hits in those days as did Jerry Byrd without pedals.
