Hey,
I was curious if anyone has any "cheat" methods to getting inversions across the fretboard on c6.for example, with e9, you get e9 open, e on 3 with a and f, e on 5 with Eb and b, and e6 on 7 with a and b.
Is there anything equivalent to this with c6??
Thanks |

| C open strings, c on fifth fret with p7, c on seventh fret with p6. If you have extra kls, third fret p5 + 3+7 raised half step, Cmajor 7 on forth fret p6 + 4+8 lowered half step. |

..and as mentioned on a thread begun by b0b, C major at 9th fret with P6 and the A->Bb lever if you have one.

It's actually a C6th. Add the C# lever (raising both C strings) to make it C7th. I use this position a lot.
The other one is C6th at the 3rd fret with P5 and the C# lever.
So, wherever you have a straight across 6th chord, you have an inversion 3 frets lower with P6+Bb and another 3 frets higher with P5+C#. All 3 can easily become 7th chords, too, in case of blues.

b0b, don't you mean P8, the boo-wah pedal, instead of P5? |

Nope. I'm talking about 6th chords, not 7ths. |

Son of a gun, you're right! I had never thought of that combination before! |

When I got my Carter, I had Bud put C to C# raises on P4. I had him move the regular P4 changes to the LKR lever. This gives an A6 without pedals, with an E on top, which is a non-pedal A6 tuning. At the 3rd fret, this becomes a C6 with a G on top, which is my usual non-pedal C6 tuning. It is also the 1st inversion of the C chord. So: Open C, 3rd fret first inversion of C, 7th fret second inversion of C (but look out for that Bb on that throw). It's much like the throws to get inversions on the E9 neck - open, 3rd fret, 7th fret.

| another couple inversions sliding every three frets up or down for C9th chords strings 3,4,5,6 or 4,5,6,7 or 5,6,7,8: 13th fret p5,6,strngs 3+7 1/2 raise-- slide down to 10th fret p5 (well known)-- slide down to 7th fret p6(same)-- slide down to 4th fret p5,6,strngs 4+8 1/2 raise. This last inversion has a 13th and b5 on top two strings. |
