The Steel Guitar Forum

I'm looking to add one or two additional changes on my U-12. So, along with the "standard" C6/B6 changes, Which of the below changes do you think would/could be more useful(in other words used more often)? (please rank: for example #*! would mean # is used more and ! is used least)

For the C6 minded players

Note: these changes have been stolen from Franklin C6, therefore please don't ask me any hard questions.

Dustin, would it not be easier to just use the poll function of the forum to do this?

Thanks for the tip. However, it doesn't allow you to order a preference for this multi option question that I've asked. Anyway, the poll is there now uptop. Thanks!

Yes, but the number of votes for each option should give you some guidance.

I use the G to F change now. I don't know what these other changes do and can't say I have ever wanted the notes they give me. Of course, if I understood how these changes were used, that might be different.

I believe Greg Cutshaw uses the 2nd change you have listed, A C D. Go to his website, and he has some audio samples of him playing that change.

I use G to F (&) constantly- wouldnt live without it
