Herby Wallace's C6th Course

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 13 Nov 2002 9:54 am

Can anyone tell me about Herby's C6th course? He's such an awesome C6th player, I wonder what the course is like and what material it covers.

thanks

If you are interested in learning the C6th neck, you won't be disappointed in Herby's courses. I have both of them and they are excellent. He does a really good job explaining the C6th neck, pedals, knee levers, chords, etc. If you have any questions you can always e-mail him and he will answer them.

p.s. He uses a G for the 1st string.[This message was edited by Erv Niehaus on 13 November 2002 at 10:36 AM.]

I will second what Erv said. He also teaches som great old tunes. You can't go wrong. This would be a great place to start.

ok..me too.. I purchased both from Herby based on a discussion I had with him at Saluda earlier this year. I was looking for an actual instruction not just tabbed out licks and songs. I was seeking scales , proper positions, etc...

This is it. I have not spent much time with it to date but what I have reviewed has been worth the entire price.

I do plan on studying the entire 2 courses ...someday soon...hey is that a song ?

Herby is very approachable for discussion concerning all of his materials. Once I actually sit down with one of the courses I will probably go visit him for an on-site in your face lesson as well..

Herby's courses are great- and he has several that are "just" four tabbed out songs, but there is so much there that can be applied to any tune if you think and practice a bit. It's always a great thing when such a gifted player shares anything of his conception on the instrument. As an aside, if you haven't got Buddy E's C6 course, grab that one as well. Great basic info and some real insights on his soloing approach.

I have the Herby Wallace C6 course that has the tune Misty on it. It's a great course, unfortunatly I lost the cassette that goes with it. It is a very good course. Luckily I already knew how the melody of most of the songs go so using the tab wasn't that hard. The first song in it that I chose to learn was Misty because it appeared to be the most difficult of the songs because it uses all the pedals and knee lever. I tend to do things that way. I figure if I can learn the hardest stuff first then the rest won't be so bad. Just the way I do things. Anyway, you can't go wrong with his courses. I have always liked his style of playing. Just wish I could get another copy of the cassette for it.

I know that the question concerned Herbie's C6 course, but I thought I would say something about his E9 course. The most descriptive word I can think of to describe his approach to E9 is "balanced." I imagine that some people more than others like relying on tabbed-out songs and licks. The songs and licks he provides are all incredibly musical, but he also gives you a few scales and modes to start inventing your own stuff with. The chord encyclopedia is very extensive as well. There is alot of wisdom passed along in the course that only a top-level player like Herbie could provide.

I think the E9 course would suffice as someone's sole instructional aid for quite awhile. If Herbie's approach in the C6 course is similar to his E9 approach, I personally would get alot out of it.
