Bobbe's current newsletter brought Jimmy Clark to our attention.
Jimmy's current steel guitar is a 6 string with 3 pedals and 1 knee lever.
A search at the old forum brought up a report that he previously played a 6 string with 2 pedals.
Does anyone know what his tuning is, and his copedent (previous, current, or hopefully both)? |

Bryan,
I will do a full explaination in my next news letter as I have had many folks email me with this question. But a quick answer is, ?????????? Check the news letter, it's now a "D" major!. Emmons pedals, and lower the D's. Jimmy added the seventh string recently, the high Look for a complete write up on this guitar and tuning in my next "News Letter".

Thanks Bobbe. I'll try to be patient.
And while we're talking, I have to say that yesterday's newsletter is outstanding. Your summary of significant steel guitars in the history of steel guitars fills in the many gaps in my knowledge of the topic. Your essay is also very thought-provoking concerning both the past and the present. |

This tuning is now a "D" major! Dropped a step.
I am in the process of setting up a Fender 400 as second guitar for Jimmy now. It has to have a "D" because of string breakage. And he want's both guitars the same tuning.
More in thursdays news letter,
Bobbe, |

| If you see Jimmy play you wonder how he gets so much out of his setup. I've seen him a number of times in Nashville. He is the kind of player that marches to his own beat. Sounds like a cross between Mooney and Brumley to me. He uses the instrument outside the bounds playing his own style. I couldn't believe he only had six strings when I saw him. He's a monster fiddle player and singer also. Great guy. |
