Thank you for the detailed explanation, Doug. Yeah, I can't stand that constant fade-in, note-from-nowhere sound. Sparsely and tastefully used, it can be beautiful. Your technique is the bomb though. |

As always your playing and ideas are great ! I am going to give that tuning a whirl...I like the connection to E9th pedal...certainly a familiar ground to start with.

All my steels are 8 string...which direction should i extend the e9th tning as you have it doug...up, down or one of each...which would make it even more e9th-ish ? _________________ Zum Encore, Remington D8 non pedal, Hallmark Mosrite clone, Gretsch 6120 DSW, Gretsch G5210T-P90 Electromatic Jet Two 90,1976 Ibanez L5, Eastman archtop, Taylor Dreadnaught, Telonics pedal, Squire Tele, Squire Strat, Fender Tonemaster, Gold Tone 5 string banjo, Little Wonder tenor banjo, 3 Roland cubes 30s and 80, Carvin combo bass amp |

It's very tempting to add a C# to get a higher voicing for a minor chord, but then the tuning becomes E13 and the C# breaks up the major chord, root, 3rd, 5th, three adjacent strings. There are a lot of ways to extend the tuning, but I would stick with E, B, G# to keep that full major chord sound. _________________ My Site / My YouTube Channel

Hi Doug,
This tuning might be the way forward for me. I have been going back and forth between Open D and C6 on my lap steel, and E9 on the pedal steel. For an amateur, it's a lot to learn.
This E9 tuning on the lap will simplify things for me- keep my head in the E9 pedal steel world even when playing lap steel. One tuning is enough for me to get under my fingers.
Thanks and I always enjoy your videos.

Hi Doug, This recent display of playing with finesse reminds me of how intimidating it was playing gigs with you in the not too distant past. You would be a great asset playing the E7 lap and pedal steel at the RISGA show on October 28th. |

Forgive me for calling your E9 lap an E7. |

Thanks Doug for the nameless tune.
I've already have worked out about half of Summertime, but my steel is in A6th so it's coming out in F#M where nobody I know ever played it.
Can retune to C6th easy enough though.
Thanks again for the Tab and all the great youtube videos.
