VOLARE 13string A6 extended as vocal accompaniment

This time I enlisted the aid of some Bass and Drums from BIAB on "VOLARE"
Some songs really need a groove to move along.
Listening back, I realize that I am paying most attention to attempting to pick the right strings
for the Diminished, augmented and Minor 6th choirds, but this makes my singing more of an
afterthought. When I am playing standard guitar (I can play without looking) and I can focus on
singing with feeling and proper breath support. I must practice so that I can sing and play both
fluidly and have fun in the groove...

Nice playing!

How would you tune that extended A6 if you only had a measly 10 strings?

I would leave off the lowest three strings on the bottom so the notes would be low to high c# e f# a c# e g a# d f# this will give you an augmented triad on the top three strings full diminished chords half-diminished minor six and of course major and minor chords
