I have heard back from some of you saying that you are enjoying the Tab and from a few saying they had problems opening or printing the files. If anyone had a problem, drop me a line and I'll resend it. Or, if it all worked out fine, let me know that too. Thanks guys!

Thanks for the tab mike. I have been playing, toying, and loving the Leavitt tuning for about a year now and find it endlessly fascinating.Not only is it great for jazz standards,but it is also great for other music as well.Although it is known for not having to use slants, if you add slants to the equation,it opens even more doors.This tuning has only began to be mined.The possabilities seem to be endless.thanks agan Mike.
All the best,-Andy

Mike: I'd like a copy of the tab as well. I really enjoy you're "Different Slant" tape. How should I extend the tuning for my 8-stringer?
Thanks,

Mike,

I've really enjoyed playing with the Leavitt tuning. What I'm wondering is if there are materials available specifically for gaining familiarity with scales, patterns, chord voicings, etc., in that tuning. I suppose if I learned enough of the songs I would pick that up eventually, but wondered if you have additional materials you use when you teach - something that might give more of a feel for where you are while you're playing. Thanks.

Mike, the Leavitt tuning is a throaty full-bodied one...sounds like I'm reviewing a wine! It's taking me some time to get at the theory of this tuning, but I'm working on it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I might have asked this before, but if you have suggestions on expanding the 6-string Leavitt to 10, what would those strings...and gauges..be?

About expanding the tuning... there was some discussion of that a while back. Click on "search" above and type in "Leavitt" to check it out.

The 8 string version should have an Eb to produce a full 6th chord (Eb6 in open position) and a low C to provide another much needed voicing for a major chord and a low root note for the C, C7, and C9 in open position IMHO

I've never experimented with a 10 string version. I like it as a 6 string tuning because it maximizes the chordal possibilities of 6 strings... no pedals, and that's the beauty of this tuning. I've been playing Leavitt for 4 years now, and I love it.

Hi Mike i'd like a copy.Is there some conventional wisdom on what notes to add on an 8 string?
On another subject your guitar ensemble arrangement(solid gold guitars) was a big hit with the kids.
Thanks
Rich
