diatonic triads for C6
In C major. This is like playing only white keys on a piano.
[tab]
C d- e- F G a- Bdim C
3. 0 2 4 5 7 9 11 12
5. 0 2 4 5 7 9 11(E) 12
6. 0 2(F) 4(F)5 7 9(F)11(F) 12
7. 0 2 4 5 7 9 11 12
and
4. 3 5 7 8 10 12 14 15
6. 3 5 7 8 10 12 14(F)15
7. 3(H)5 7 8(H)10(H)12 14 15(H)
8. 3 5 7 8 10 12 14 15
[/tab]
Practicing this sort of thing help me to understand the tuning.

If you mix both of those grips you can play all the diatonic chords except the Bdim without any pedals.
C grip#1
d- grip#2
e- grip#2
F grip#1
G grip#1
a- grip#2
I'm not the greatest C6 player to put it mildly but practicing this sort of thing makes it so I can visualise the neck a bit better and play what I hear.

C6 diatonic chords
Are the letters for C6 pedals a continuation of the E9 ABC? i.e., E=pedal 5, F=pedal 6, etc.??

Grips
Could someone please explain what grips 1 and 2 are. There must be a few more perhaps a short list would be beneficial. Thanks. Eldon

Re: Grips
Are you referring to Bob Hoffnar's 2nd post? The way I read it was.... I thought Bob was referring to his own original post where he'd outlined 2 ways of playing the same chord.Eldon Cangas wrote:Could someone please explain what grips 1 and 2 are.

The chord name is along the top - so C can be played with (fret 0,0,0,0) using strings 3 5 6 7 or (3,3,3H,3) using strings 4 6 7 8
...so Grip #1 = strings 3 5 6 7
Grip #2 = strings 4 6 7 8
So in his 2nd post he notes that you can find a version of the chord without levers/pedals except for the Bdim chord.....making sense?
There're obviously "standard" grips (these being 2 of them)...but I havent seen them numbered before...somebody out there may have a numbering system!

C6th neck
This is very nice stuff. I learned by tablature in the later 1940's thanks to Oahu Music. I still play by tab. So this all makes instant sense because I must rely on tab.
I can play all of my C6th tab music written for 6 and 8 string non pedal automatically on the C6th neck of course.
Then I have been able to slowly remember what each pedal will do for me to avoid playing a slant.
It is a wonderful thing for those players that can play steel by notes. I can read music, sing from notes but I never was able to transfer note reading to steel guitar. Tab is it for me.
So I found these books to be very helpful, and there are so many more. The Sharp Music Manual for simplified music theory, Mike Neer's Steelin' Scales & Modes book, and Doug Beaumier's C6th tab books to name only a few as we have so many good tab books available from so many of our steel friends. These just happen to be the first ones I bought in recent years. I have all of Scotty's C6th books and so many others as well.
The common string grips on 6 string C6th are 1,2,3; 2,3,5; 3,5,6; and 1,2,4; 2,4,5; and 4,5,6. first 3 grips involve the 6th note. The second 3 grips do not.
On 10 string those grips then are 2,3,4; 3,4,6; 4,6,7; and 2,3,5; 3,5,6; and 5,6,7.
Perhaps this info may not be much help but it sure has allowed me to be active on my C6th neck too.
