G6 Dobro - 6 string

sliding bill · From: UK

Well - a few hours with my 4 string tuned up to E and I'm smiling.
Wonderful swing feel.
Playing around the 7th 12th and 14th frets was a lot of fun.
Anyone know of any tab around or even tunes that lay out well in this tuning ?

Mr A's "8 string swing" --- an amazing work that everyone should own --- but 6 string ?

Festive greetngs to all.

The most interesting 6-string Dobro G6th I've encountered sacrafices the 6th (low G) string, replacing it with an E, (try a .034" or .032" string.) between the 3d and 4th in pitch. This alignment retains most the integrity of the "standard tuning", and when you want the 6th, its right there with the thumb.
