[for e9th just hold the E to Eb lever in for the whole lick, and remember my string 9 is your string 10]
This might be to simplistic for some, but...
This is a little tag for 6th pickin. I play a U12 so I tabbed it as such. For D10 C6th just start the lick on your 3rd string (i think!). My 12th string is your 10th string, so count from the bottom up (then skip my 2nd and 3rd
string). The first 5 notes can be played forward and backwards for different licks. The second half can be varried forward and backward also. It sounds like an intro when played backward (vary to taste). I use it as a tag for fast swing and I like to pick every note.

Oh Yeah,
This is with the E to Eb enguaged on Universals. It's in the key of "A" in the B6th tuning but can be played in any key.
