I have a few copies left of the seminar material I used at the recent Denver Steel Guitar Show to kickstart folks on their journey through C6.
Included is a PDF of tablature and an audio file (both delivered electronically). At the end of study, you'll still be lugging that heavy D-10 around, but you'll at least know why!This material assumes that you have a basic working knowledge of the E9 tuning and have been playing E9 for at least a year (okay, 6 months, if you're a quick study). We look at the many parallels between the E9 and the C6 tunings that will demystify the C6 neck for you, and give you a solid understanding of how to play through typical chord changes commonly found in western swing and jazz. The seminar uses standard pedals 5, 6, 7 & 8 plus KLs that raise and lower the 3rd string, and raise & lower 4th & 8th. (Don't worry if you don't have all of these changes, since there is plenty of material that doesn't require them all.)
I cover things like beginner's orientation to the C6 tuning, major string grips, major, minor & dominant chord positions, functions of each pedal and KL, mapping the fretboard 'mentally' (e.g., 2-above, 3-below), and several ways to play the all-important 2m/5/1 chord pattern. My focus is on understanding the C6 tuning and building a mental map of the neck, rather than teaching licks. A little knowledge of chord theory will be helpful but is not necessary to benefit from this seminar (as long as you're willing to learn some along the way).
