| I am building on another post about jazz voicings in E9. I am interested in jazz voicings in C6th. What is best source for that? Also, for cth, is the strategy that you would have to omit the root and focus on 3rd, 7th, and color tones? |

Yes, forget the root and think about 3rds, 7ths and the fifth of your choice. And 13ths. You will find lurking 9ths within most chords too. This is why they invented bass players.

Our man Jim Cohen has posted some things, I know. You might poke around here for some of them. I think he also does courses etc.
Anyway, here's a link to an old forum post where Jim explains some 2 5 1 voicings for C6 on YT. Maybe this will help.

omitting the root is one approach. I do a lot of chord melody for solo steel so I play a lot of root notes. I haven't had much trouble finding just about any chord, root included.
a google search for Herb Steiner C6 will lead you to his excellent pdf on C6 chording

| One of the most useful approaches I've found is diatonic substitution. |

| I got this from Lex Giel's book, The Music of Miles Davis. Within the harmonized scale are both active and passive chords. The passive chords are IM7, iii7, and vi7. The active chords are ii7, IVM7, V7, and vii7b5. Any passive chord can sub for any other passive chord, likewise for active chords. |

I believe it was Mr. Steiner who published "My approach to chords on the C6th tuning", which I thought was an excellent resource for players getting into that tuning.

| MANY years ago a guy named Trap Truly did some charts on chords location on C6,,,GREAT information!!! Later on (still many years ago,,LOL)I did some charts converting them to E9/B6. I think b0b had a sticky or something where they were accessible? |
