C6th, like Jerry's original. Whether E on top or G on top, I'm not sure.

Last that I knew of Chris was playing
E, C, A, G, E, C# A, A, (bass) on his C6. He could have changed tunings . that was a few years back. Love his steel playing. Talented cat.

| How many start a solo with a couple of behind the bar bends? That whole break was really tasty and bluesy with a tinge of jazz. I also like the wide variety of registers he uses--low to high in a single run. Super cool. I like to think that as a multi-instrumentalist, steel guitar is his real love. |

Agree, Scott, and that cool jump blues-approved unison lick.

| I try to catch everything Chris does with guitar and lap steel. He has the magic touch. |

| Anyone else been sitting at home and watching this over and over to try and learn it? He's one of the best, and one of the nicest people too. |

I've watched and worked on many of the videos that Chris has posted on you tube. He is a stellar player!! I wish he would do a course for Paul Franklins MMM. (Modern Music Masters)

| Maybe, if enough of us beg him, he would tab this out and offer a group Zoom lesson, or something... |

Chris seems to stay pretty busy playing around Nashville. He's also on the road with Marty Stuart a lot. He may not have the time(??) He is a member here and posts pretty frequently . Perhaps he will see this.
I recently inquired with MMM about the possibility of a camp with some non pedal players they responded. (Cut and Pasted below)

Hi Gary-
Thanks for getting in touch!
No plans for that this year, sorry. I think it's likely something we will address next year. This year's main focus is on the pedal steel legends we are getting together. We'd like to do some non-pedal classes....something like a Chris Scruggs clinic would be amazing, no doubt.
Thanks,
Tom at MMM

I think Chris is more of a "you have the video, listen and watch what I do" kind of guy. BUT a lesson in general would be great! |
