Extended E9: recordings?

Post by Drew Howard »

Other than BE's White Album, where could I find recorded examples of "Extended E9" tunings? Meaning 12 strings, not Universal.

Perhaps some of the pros on the forum have some: b0b, Earnest, Bengt?

In fact, I think I have b0b's CD around here somewhere.

thanks,

Drew

You could call BE 's E13 exp tuning an Extended E9, all the E9 notes and pulls are there. Plus the bass strings....al Image

Don't forget Buddy Cage's recordings with NRPS. He played a D-12 Emmons on those, then later played a D-12 Hilt. Image I don't recall hearing any low notes on the recordings though.

All of my CDs were recorded on extended E9th, except for the occassional non-pedal track. Image

How about Tom Brumley? He mostly played a single-11 ZB with a low E string, I guess that qualifies as extended E9.

Hey Joe & Al,
BE's and Tom B's extended E9 tunings neither one have the low G# string (string 11) so they wouldn't qualify for what's become commonly known as "Extended E9" although they are in fact. You lose a whole bunch of good stuff without that G#. As a matter of fact I believe if I only had an eleven string steel I'd probably go with the G# string in the 11th slot as opposed to an E like Tom B. has......

"Crisis at the Themepark", my Cd, was recorded on a D12 Franklin with an extended E9 neck.
