A REALLY Dumb C6 Question

Stephen Gambrell · Post by **Stephen Gambrell** » 27 Jun 2002 11:00 am

Can someone tell me what the standard C6 pedal/knee setup is? Or even if there IS such a thing as standard? I'm raw as diaper rash when it comes to C6. FWIW, my E9 neck is set up Emmons. Thanks, and God bless.

Some have changed the first string to D instead of G.

Sorry Richard did not know you had posted until after I posted mine. Sorry.

Yours is better since I don't know how to post charts.

Yo Steve. Click TUNINGS at the top of this page and your can find a bunch of charts.

...and in line with Jon, IMO, you can consider Jimmy Day's C6 (same as Richard's above) as "default", then Buddy's C6 right below it as what's more common today, exceptions noted. Doug Jernigan has a GREAT C6 beginner course (book & VHS) that uses the Day C6 right to the letter, FWIW.[This message was edited by Rex Thomas on 27 June 2002 at 01:46 PM.]
