How much would it be with legs?

Thanx Fredrick. Think I will try this. '

Was wondering what the A6 notes are low to high that Eddie Rivers is tuning to. Anyone know? If so could you please post it? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jean! Been toying with this and I think I'm gonna go with it for a spell here and see how it pans out for me. I think I'll just retune strings 9 & 10 and leave the 2nd string where it is though unless I come up with a better way of doing it. Most of my E9 playing is on the first 8 strings...

Hey Jean, what gauge string do you use for your 10 string A? Also what do you use for 9th string C#? I think I'm going to try this.

This might be what I've been lookin' for.I have tuned down to C# from D on string 9 but I've never tuned my B string to A. Looks interesting and makes a lot of sense. I will give this a try.

Great stuff! I love this!

Would there be a good way to make an E13 tuning on a 10 string Pedal Steel. Any opinions on this?

I've had a GFI student guitar for a good 10 years and have had no problems. I also have a ShoBud pro guitar. Both have the same tunnnings. I usualy take the GFI to the gig because it's nice and light. The ShoBud stays at my studio. They both get the job done. I've heard and watched Bobbe Seymour pla...

I'm so sorry Bob. Please forgive my ignorance, I honestly didn't know. I just changed it. My apologies. Thanks for letting me know.

I sold my first GFI a few months back and have a new student model for sale here at our venue "The White Crow Conservatory", Saginaw, Mi. Anyone interested in GFI's can also order one here. We presently have a black student model in stock. 3 pedals 2 knees call 989-790-2118 or email ziggie...

Hey JD, I feel that there is something that makes things flow a whole lot nicer with the C# between the B and E when playing swing and blues. Also I feel that I can get some nicer chord changes with my slants that way.Of course maybe it just feels better that way for me personally. But we are all di...

Hi Landon, I'm looking into this because I play E13 on lap steel and dobro. I tend to be more blues & swing oriented and if I could cmbine the E13 with my pedal steel E9 I think I could get the best of both worlds. The swing and the more country sounds all on one guitar. I hope this helps you ou...

Jim I would be interested in knowing what your pedals are doing on your tuning. It looks interesting to me. I have a student GFI and a ShoBud single kneck. I wold have to figure out what I would want my pedals to do. I use E13 on lap steel and dobro with 6 stings and love the versatility I have with...

Howdy, I don't post very often but I sure do learn a lot from this forum. I've been contemplating changing one of my steels to E13. I use it for lap steel and dobro all the time and I think it might be a nicer tuning for me as far as pedal steel goes. I would be very interested in other peoples cope...

These are all great suggestions. I appreciate everyones input.As far as Lloyd Green and Buddy, they are great. I love what they do. I'm also aware of Hal Rugg and Weldon Myricks use of the C# on the second string. Also great players. I guess I have to figure out what would work best for me. I was wo...

Thanks for the input guys. I'm always trying to build a better mousetrap. How would it work to start with a C# on string 2 and raise it up to D then to D#? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Also I want to thank you Bob for all the time and effort you put into this forum. I spend a lot of ti...

Howdy everyone, I was wondering if anyone has changed there 2 and 9 string to C# and raise them to D. I have seen some guy do this to the 9th string but I havn't seen it done to both 2 and 9. I was thinking it might work better for what I like to do to get some more swing and bluesy chords. Any comm...

Hey William, You did a great job on this. Keep it up and keep the tunes a coming. We all have something unique to offer and we all should be able to learn from each other no matter how well we play. You played with a lot of heart and I thought it was great. Thanks for sharing it with us. Ziggie

Thanks Ethan! I'll take a close look at this. It could be what I'm looking for. Ziggie

Would you be willing to post your setup so I could see what and how you're doing it. I'm looking to get a bit more swing in my tunning. I always like being able to get more chords happening. Thanks again.

Ethan,
Are you telling me that you did the C# to D raise on the 3rd pedal that normally raises the E to F# and the B to C#? Thanks for your input

Thanks for your input Ernest. The sympathetic vibration makes a lot of sense. I didn't think about that. I'm still thinking about trying it though to see what it would be like. One of my biggest questions is though, is would it work to move the pedal changes over a string on a GFI student guitar? I'...

Howdy, Heres what I'm thinking about trying to do. I'm wondering if it is possible on my GFI student guitar. I want to add a C# between b and e and move E,G#,and Eb over one string so that C# is string 4, E is string 3,and G# is string 2. That would mean C# is where E used to be. E is where G# used ...
