| The steel break after the fiddle part in Hank Williams Juniors Family Traditon sounds like its C6. If so, could it be transposed to e9 and still sound ok? |

That solo can be played on either neck. If you want to play it in E on E9, I would start at the 7th fret with A+B pedals and look for the 'melody' notes of the solo. You should find them between the 5th and 7th frets with A+B down. Once you've found those notes, just grab a handful of notes -- 4th through 8th strings will work best. Avoid the 9th.
Good luck

I've never sat down next to the tape deck and played along to try and get it note for note.
Just going from memeory and using my ear as the judge, I start at the 15th fret with the E to Eb lever held in. Keeping the lever in at all times, then go to the 10th fret, then to the 12th as the chords change. This should give you a "simulated" E6, A6 and B6 to work with. There are a couple of other little runs/licks that you'll need to fill some gaps, but this seems to me to get about 90% of it knocked out.
You should be able to hit about any string except for the 9th during this and not have it sound too out of place.
