Here's a start, though there are many variations: I chord, D lever (lower E's) anywhere; IV chord, same fret, no lever or pedal; V chord, 2 frets up. This is just a start, mind you. For example, with D lever and B pedal you have I7, and D lever and A-B pedal you get I9. I should add, you'll figure out which strings you can and can't use to get the 6th soound.

I would spend some time with Herb's C6 on E9 courses.

Another Variation--
I chord- (A+B pedals) Strings 8,7,6,5

Also try the Don E. Curtis book "C6 on E9" from Scotty's Music. LOTS of great stuff in there. Get this along with the Herb Steiner courses and you'll be plenty busy!

You can play a 6th chord, as someone mentioned, two frets back from the "pedals down" position. For example, for a G6 chord move to fret 8 and play strings 5,6,7, and 8 with only the Eb lever pressed. Actally any string at that fret will fit with the possible exception of 9. For the IV chord or C stay at the 8th fret and only the A pedal, and play strings (3,4,5), (4,5,6) , (5,6,Cool, etc. It's actually only 3 notes but it will sound like a C6th if the rest of the band is playing a C chord. For the V chord or D just move on up to the 10th fret. If you wanted a D6 just keep everything the same as was described for the IV chord. If you want a D7, play with no pedals and include the 9th string with your chord, for example 5,6,9 at the 10th fret should give you at least part of the D7.

I second Bob Hoffnar's advice - Herb has 2 "Swinging on E9th" courses... I have one of them and it really opened my eyes to some jazzier voicings.

Hey Gary, I responded to your thread in the Tab section, I was just trying to apply the theory of the 6th neck to the 9th. It's starting to come together for me too.
