C6 Tuning

I'm a beginner at C6 tuning. My Cashdollar video says it's CEGACE and chord finder says it's CGCGAE. What's up? Thanks-JeffS

The Cashdollar is what you need on your guitar for C6th on a 6 string steel guitar.

Go with Cindy, till you have grown an opinion of your own.

The chord finder looks more like a regular guitar open tuning...

I like CEGACE, low to high. By raising the C's to C# and lowering the G to F#, you have A6th in less than a minute. Just another way. Ron

You could also take the bottom C of C6th, and raise it to C#, to give you C6th/A7th:

E
C
A
G
E
C#

This is a very versitile tuning. But, you won't be able to strum all 6 strings at once.

Yep...follow Cindy on the tuning. I like the videos. They got me started on the right foot.

Try this Chord Finder. It's the best I've found so far.
