Sweet Someone-a Tribute to Jerry Byrd
I have always loved Jerry Byrd's version of Sweet Someone from his recording, Byrd in Hawaii. For my recording I'm using my Ricky Frypan tuned to a modified C6th-(highest string) GECAGF (lowest). There's a lot of music to be made with six strings. Here's a link to my version of Sweet Someone. http://hsga.org/new_design/ChuckLettes.htm

Accidentally had the volume cranked on my laptop and the first notes sent the cat running from the room. After that, great playing and beautiful tone, Chuck. Also enjoyed your versions of Harbor Lights, God Only Knows, Lost Highway...and finally just saved your page for future listening.

Thanks for the nice responses, guys. Nils, I like using the high G with the F on the bottom. It is similar to the pedal steel's C6th tuning, with the F as the ninth string. However, I use the F tuned an octave higer. It creates some different tones, plus I can detune the F to an E when the mood hits. Here's a link to an introduction I did for this tuning: http://www.pedalsteelguitar.net/lapsteel.php
