Ok Robert ..I completely understand your request, I was a novice once (Not so long ago)
when I WAS a novice I became more proficient by working things out.
This following explanation is not intended to be condescending of in ANY way derogatory, but simply as a lesson in deduction, essential to anyone who wishes to be able to play by ear.
This tuning is a puzzle to you and it is possible to workout what it is by looking at the open strings used in the tablature/the notation and chords above, and extrapolate the answer. i.e. the first bar on the second line down is a C chord with a melody note of E so, open 1st string is an E note, therefore the second string MUST be a C and the 3rd ? but the 4th is obviously a G because it's common with the next bar on an A7 chord which also gives us a clue as to string 6 at the First fret which is open at the previous bar, the only note in the C6th tuning that is raised a half step when an A chord is played is the C raise to a C#.
That only leaves string 3 to work out, and guess what, the tuning is called C6, therefore the missing note must be the sixth A.
By process of elimination with NO knowledge of the steel guitar, just musical knowledge we've worked out that the tuning is from High to low E-C-A-G-E-C |

That tuning is easy to remember as...
Elephant CAGE Closed
I can never remember tunings unless I make sentences out of them.  |

ALAN, thanks. I need all the help I can get.
It seems to me there are several tunings for lap steel, dobro, etc.
Maybe some day I will get a little more adapted to knowing these things as well as the banjo and bass, which are the main instruments I played for the first 20 years of my musical experience. But since I started playing the pedal steel and dobro, I hardly think of the banjo.
Thanks again,
robert |

Robert glad to see you've progressed to a musical instrument from that member of the tuned percussion family ! 
Alan "Our Kid" what would you compose in the way of a sentence to remember the E13th tuning
E-C#-B-G#-E-D or the other E13th E-C#-B-G#-F#-D
Memorable Sentence :- Isn't that the Chan Canasta method ? I think I saw it in his book on memory training but I'm not sure ! |

Yes sir Basil, I have finally evolved i mean progressed to a real instrument.
By the way, you have me all "cornfused" now mentioning that there is an E13th tuning of six strings.  
I sure would like to hear some of your music and know what is what of what I'm listening to.
I have to confess though, I listen and play mostly GOSPEL music, although I do like blues and some of the Hawaiin music.

Robert I don't mind being called "sir" as long as you don't spell it "Cur' 
As far as my music is concerned I gave a link to a YouTube video earlier in the post

Coloured text in posts is invariably a "Clickable Link"
If you click the word "THIS" above, then you'll go to a video of mine that links to 40+ more videos of my group AND most importantly a lot of Videos of Jerry Byrd on a reso guitar..
BTW Glad to see you've also evolved from the "Upper Case" Syndrome to a more readable format.. |
