Topic: Intro to C6 for E9 Players |

Have you been lugging a D-10 around for years with very little idea of what to do with the C6 neck other than to rest your arms on it while you play E9? Or maybe set your drink on it while you wait for your next solo? If so, this could be your opportunity for a breakthrough.
I have a few copies left of the seminar material I used at the recent Denver Steel Guitar Show to kickstart folks on their journey through C6.
Quote: |
This material assumes that you have a basic working knowledge of the E9 tuning and have been playing E9 for at least a year (okay, 6 months, if you're a quick study). We look at the many parallels between the E9 and the C6 tunings that will demystify the C6 neck for you, and give you a solid understanding of how to play through typical chord changes commonly found in western swing and jazz. The seminar uses standard pedals 5, 6, 7 & 8 plus KLs that raise and lower the 3rd string, and raise & lower 4th & 8th. (Don't worry if you don't have all of these changes, since there is plenty of material that doesn't require them all.)
I cover things like beginner's orientation to the C6 tuning, major string grips, major, minor & dominant chord positions, functions of each pedal and KL, mapping the fretboard 'mentally' (e.g., 2-above, 3-below), and several ways to play the all-important 2m/5/1 chord pattern. My focus is on understanding the C6 tuning and building a mental map of the neck, rather than teaching licks. A little knowledge of chord theory will be helpful but is not necessary to benefit from this seminar (as long as you're willing to learn some along the way). |
Included is a PDF of tablature and an audio file (both delivered electronically). At the end of study, you'll still be lugging that heavy D-10 around, but you'll at least know why!
Cost has been reduced to $25 and delivery is electronic only. Email or PM me through the Forum for payment information. _________________ www.JimCohen.com

Paul, I think Herb Steiner has a good one on that already. Truth is, because I "major" on C6, I've never bothered to learn how to play C6 sounds on E9. Oh, I know a few things here and there but not enough to justify teaching others. Check with Herb though.
Cheers,

Hi Folks,
I've been swamped with so many orders for the C6 and the E9 courses that I will need to have more copies made. This will take a few days since I'm moving my Dad this week, but I hope to have everyone's orders shipped by middle of next week. Thank you for your interest!

Jim's C6th seminar material is well worth the minimal outlay - it's laid out clearly and intelligently (which leads me to wonder who actually wrote it! )
Seriously, folks - this is basic C6th on steroids! Give it a try. _________________ Roger Rettig - Emmons D10s, Quilter TT-12, B-bender Teles and old Martins.

Thanks for the (unsolicited) testimonial and (left-handed) compliment, Roger.
To answer your question, though, I have my courses written for me by Ghostwriters in the Sky... or in the Cloud, or something like that...
I received the new books today and packed all current orders for shipping, hopefully tomorrow (Saturday). Thanks to all who have placed orders. I hope you'll find it helpful.

Thanks Jim, like Rodger said, this C6 Seminar is one of the best laid out explanations I have ever seen. I've learned a few songs over the years on C6, but now I can see what the heck I'm doing, and different ways to do it. |

I think this C6 stuff presents an approach to jazz II-V-I stuff better than I've seen elsewhere, and the chord construction stuff is as good. And a bargain.
Make Jim go to the post office. |

This course is now available only for electronic delivery (sorry, Ken, ain't goin' to the P.O. if I don't absolutely have to), and the price has been lowered to just $25.
Thanks for the recent orders that have come in and for the nice words about the course.

I just got Jim's C6th for E9 players and it looks like a great intro for me knowing almost nothing about that neck. Hopefully this week weekend I can spend a few hours soaking it in. |

I bought this several years ago from Jim, my apologies for not leaving a comment sooner! An excellent guide for unpacking the back neck, and mapping the altered chords to the pedals/knees. I also appreciate that the book doesn't require 4 knees for C6 (I only have 2), but it's something I can grow into. Great stuff, Jim! |
