I have been "babysitting" a friend's D-10 Dekley for a while and now will have some time to start learning the C6th neck. I'm looking for suggestions of a good primer for the C6th neck with the qualification that I know my way around the E9th (and "B6th") neck well and I know a lot of music theory (although I've never been a jazzer). Are there any courses geared towards those of us who know the E9 tuning well already?
(And then, does anyone know a good divorce lawyer? Beacuse if I get hooked on C6 and have to buy yet another steel, my wife will put my axes out on the street and change the locks on our front door!)
Thanks.
Dan

| there's a lot of good C6 tab type courses that will help out once you get rolling but I will second CBS's recommnedation of the Emmons course to get you started, not sure there's anything that will get you more knowlage in fewer pages than that one! |

| I went through several of the C6th intro courses and I thought that Herby Wallace's two "Approach to the C6th Tuning" books were the most efficient and to the point. HWP-200 and HWP-201, everybody sells them. |

| Jeff Newman, "C6th Workshop" is a great introductory, also. |

A really simple idea helped me understand the C6th neck. Someone transposed it to E6th so I would be able to understand the string intervals...Being a old Emajor/E9th player, I understand what a F# or a B means in the E tuning....
Jimmy Days C6th tuning top to bottom...
G-E-C-A-G-E-C-A-F-C that equals....
B-G#-E-C#-B-G#-E-C#-A-E.
This helped a ma LOT !!!

Thanks for all the good advice folks. I've already ordered a couple of these and will probably get around to ordering them all. I always tell mys tudents you learn best by studying something through several perspectives, so I guess I should follow my own advice!
Still haven't had a recommendation for a divorce lawyer: maybe that one in Chicago with the racy billboard...

| Be a lot cheaper in the long run to change the locks yourself and set the wife out on the curb.... |
