12 fret runs

Post by Sherman Willden »

I'm looking for a walkup run from the first fret to the 13th fret and back down from the 13th fret to the first fret.

Thanks in advance;

Sherman

I guess "Walk Don't Run" would be a runup walk (inapt).

E13 and B11 are a good place to start, Doug. I've heard E9 and C6 are pretty popular, too. Whatever you do, though, please don't play A11 ... just some advice I heard somewhere.

Thank you to all who replied. What I'm still having trouble with is the walkdown that Mickey Adams showed us in "Tonight the Heartaches on Me", so I thought if I could get a good country E9th three-string walkup and walkdown throughout the entire neck in the key of F or Bb it would help. But if anyone has a similar C6th it would be nice.

Thank you;

Sherman

On the last one, if you have the Bb lever ("X") with a tunable split, you can avoid the slant by using 11AX instead of 10A. I like the slant, though. It's one of the easiest ones on the E9th.
