Thanks again Andy!!!!

I always played it in acoustic guitar but you are encouraged me to play it in the steel guitar and . . . wow!! it works.

Thanks!!!!

[Paul Graupp]

Andy; Thanks for the post-tab. On the way to my friday gigs, I always listen to Jazz Live At The RiverFront on Public Radio. This last weekend they had a tribute to Django and they mentioned that Nuage was his greatest hit ever. It was a very interesting program and in fact I was late setting up/tuning because I didn't want to miss any of it. Thanks Again !!

Do you have any songs Tabed for the pedal steel?
I grew up listening to that music, my father played guitar and was in England in WW 2 and followed the Twin Club of Hot France, I think he has all their Records. Any response would be great

[Andy Volk]

Sorry, Kent, I'm strictly a non-pedal player. There are a lot of better musicians than me here on the forum who could probably help you out with an E9th or C6th pedal version.

[Jon Light (deceased)]

Kent Lee---the above tab will lay on the E9 as strings
<font face="monospace" size="2"><pre>
5------

8------
10------</pre></font>

with A & B pedals down. Or string 9 lowered D>C# instead of 10, if you have the lever.

[Paul Graupp]

For my own use and probably more to see if I could do it, I have Nuages for PSG E9th with the usual pedal notations. A few spots were hard to plot out but if anyone is interested, I'll e-mail it to them. BTW I still cannot get incomine e-mail so post here if you want it.

Regards, Paul

[Kent Lee Davis]

Yes I would like you to Email it to me pleas

Thanks for the cool tab Andy! I wasn't familiar with this tuning, but it's nice the way it's so close to C6th. Is this another often used tuning on 6 string lap? Do you know who first started using it and what style is it used most for, jazz?
P.S. You da Man!<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Jesse Pearson on 12 December 2002 at 06:39 PM.]</p></FONT>

[Andy Volk]

Jesse, A6th tuning was used by Leon McAuliffe, Herb Remington and a lot of other Western Swing players. It was often matched on a double neck with E13th. Hawaiian players, like Billy Hew Len, used it too. The Hawiians also lowered the bass strings to get the B11th tuning: E,C#,A,F#, D#, C#, A, B.
