Sleepy Blue - C6 lap steel - Look ---->

Post by Doug Beaumier »

This tune started out as a slant exercise and morphed into a song! Kind of a lazy minor blues. 8)

Very nice Doug. There's a lot of music in that 6 string C6 tuning.

Thanks, guys. Yes, C6 tuning offers a lot of licks and slants due to the close intervals of the tuning. It's a very versatile lap steel tuning. Those sliding patterns in the solo are mostly minor pentatonic. ...move them down three frets and they become major pentatonic. There's a lotta stuff in that tuning. thanks again. 8)
