Here's a way of archiving chord melody arrangements without the tedium of tabbing out every note..I call it "short tab"like shorthand! The first number is the fret,then pedals( 4-8 on C6, knee levers are named by note they give you on open strings..ie:10/56Bb..would be 10th fret 5+6 pedals + Bb knee lever .This is not "paint by numbers" tab, You have to know the melody in your head to use this! Often your melody and passing notes on KLs, and I try to show different positions the chords are available!..JS PS;if there's interest I'll show the bridge in Gb.

My friend John has an insane knowledge of the C6 tuning with 5 peds and 5 KL's. This is an excellent example.

John -
This is really a great approach to good C6th stuff.
Plus, if a Player is just getting started on C6th,
he could go thru the mental exercise of determining how he can
obtain Bb7 at 5th fret + Pedal 6,
and also obtain Bb7 at 8th fret + Pedal 5.
depending upon the desired voicing of song's melody.
Can you keep 'em coming John?
Kind Regards -
Ron |

Nice.
I just discovered that if you add 3-frets, to the first number(s) in the chart, you can play along with the audio clip that is posted above (I think it's in F).
I used to play sing it on acoustic guitar in E.
Good tune for 6th Steelin' 
Yes please post the Bridge!
I think it goes to a Maj7?... |

John,
On the 3rd bar 8/0, what would you play there? Just making sure I understand the shorthand and that I am in the ballpark with you. I believe this is going to be real handy.

for the 8/0, 3rd bar,
I'm using strings 4 through 7, then strings 3 through 6 with the knee that lowers the 3rd string, pivoting back and forth between those two grips/inversions.
Would it be a good idea to mark it: 8/0 (bflat knee)?
Thx for the input Ron, via email! |

| You got it Ron. The melody is on C-B knee lever. I name the kls by tge note they give you on ooen strings. So B Bb C# Ab are my four knees on C6 (I actually lower the 6 string E-D on Vertical). |
