In trying to learn the e9 neck I am also learning the c6 neck Which to my ears is more pleasing at the moment I guess its just a sweet sound that takes me away , anyways some what like the e9 there are 4 grips that can be used on the c6 (maybe more I don't know yet) and scales are used just like e9 , haven't found any harmonizing scales as of yet but im sure they are there , c6 has lots of sliding into notes with very little pedal action at least not like the e9 neck has but im sure ill find more pedal action as my studies continue. the c6 pedals on my sho bud move only one string unlike the e9 pedals move more than one , its interesting to me how you can have two sets of ten strings and both are different in how they are manipulated into making a song or how they are played differs so much yet are so much alike ,
ok back to the guitar . |

The way I keep them organized in my mind is by thinking of the C6 as the "full chord" neck... and the E9 as the "triad" neck.
The C6 has diatonic triads possible without pedals, and the pedals make bigger chords possible. That's likely why the harmonized scale is not as obvious as it is on the E9. The C6 reveals it's advantages when you go to slide from one big chord to another. It doesn't have to be jazz chords either. It can work very well with blues progressions, where alot of 7ths and 9ths come in handy.
So, with the typical C6 pedal setup being geared towards big chords, that is why the pedals don't directly lay out a harmonized scale as the E9 does. For typical triad playing, it is easiest to play the C6 as a non-pedal guitar. Dewitt Scott's Non-Pedal C6 book walks through many harmonized scales both with and without bar slants.
Once you are able to visualize what frets move where, then you may find a pedal or a lever that achieves the same thing... But, they are not laid out to be obvious for this application, so don't beat yourself up too much if your brain plays tricks on you.
Check out Scotty's Non-Pedal C6 book. It may shine a new light on the tuning in its simplest form. |
