Tom plays some great C6 with Wanda Jackson on this old Ranch Show clip from '68: https://youtu.be/jAissxoYuzs

I don't remember hearing him play any C6, are there more examples out there?

Yes, I`ve seen other clips from Buck`s Ranch Shows where Tom also plays C6, and with more licks and even solos. That boy knew his way around the C6 neck!
He also recorded the instrumental Country Rag with the Buckaroos using C6, as well as doing half of Steel Guitar Rag on his TomCattin`album on the C6 neck.

One time at the St Louis steel convention Brumley played Jerry Byrd's arrangement of 'Dance of the Goldenrod' on a Ricky Panda 6 string C6. There's a lot of tricky bar wrangling in there but he nailed it.

Tom Brumley could do “Byrd” on his C6/A7th (C6th with C# and the C on the bottom (essentially the birth of P8!)) pre-war B7 Rickenbacher with all the mastery of Touch and Tone, whilest JB standing behind him like a Goodfather… the whole HiFi Steel Guitar Album repertoire.
Only very few could come THAT close to JB’s style.


He had a friendship with JB and some of his closer friends, like Texan Wayne Tanner, with whom he discussed these guitars’ special tone (aka. “The Moan”).

On Rick Nelson's Windfall album: "How Many Times." A gem!

I was always under the assumption that Tom's intro to So Long Mama on Rick Nelson's Garden Party LP was C6. I play it on non-pedal C6.
