| Does anyone know what variant of E7/C# minor Dick McIntire was using in lots of his later recordings? I've heard it referred to as some kind of F# tuning. |

F#9 = E C# G# E A# F#, top to bottom.

Did Dick ever live in the LA area?

| Very interesting. Another split tuning. E6 on top 4 strings with F#dom with the bass as tonic. Does anyone know how early this tuning appeared? |

I have a few of Dick McIntire's handwritten lessons, and on a few of them he wrote his address as a PO Box in Seal Beach, which is just north of Huntington Beach.
I can hear Dick playing F#9 on a Bing Crosby session from 7/1/40 on the tune Aloha Kuu Ipo Aloha. I'll have to check out some earlier recordings and find out for myself.

| I'm pretty sure Dick McIntire had a steel guitar school in L.A. during the 40's I think that Joaquin Murphey used to hang out there when he was a teenager. |
