Jack Richards 6 string tuning

Tim Toberer · From: Nebraska, USA

I just learned about this guy yesterday and I can't stop listening. His tuning is explained in the comments about the video. I really love how he has combined the pedal steel and non pedal to get the best of both worlds. His chord melody playing is some of the best I have ever heard. His six string tuning would be the same as Tom Morrell's top 6 only an octave lower. Great minds think alike!

just looking at his tuning some more and I think I had some insight. If you combine the 6 string non pedal and the top 5 of his pedal neck you get an 11 string tuning like this
(low to high) G#-B-C#-E-F#-G#-B-C#-E-F#-G#

Morrell's E13 E-D-E-F#-G#-B-C#-E-F#-G# Jack had D on a pedal change

Julian Tharpe E6/9 (strings 11-1 ) E-G#-B-C#-E-G#-B-E-G#-Eb-F# Julian had a High F#-G# on pedal 9 and a High B-C# pedals 4 and 7 And the Middle E-F# on a vertical knee lever
And Buddy Emmons 1975
