i do love country music and my single neck steel, but there`s some songs on the set-list that have a jazzy approach f.e. "king of the road" where my E9 stuff doesn`t sound great... 
anybody has some hints or you tube clips where they show how to handle that kind of songs?
i`m not a jazz player, just want some tricks on that!  |

| drop your E's and for the chord of E play at the 5th fret. every major chord using the A&B pedal is two frets lower . that how the 12 uni works. |

I believe both Buddy and Jeff Newman have courses on C6 playing on E9.
Remember, the Gatlin Brothers' "Houston" and "Lady Takes a Cowboy" were both E9.
John, that's how one Uni tuning works: the other starts with the "Es" lowered, you raise them for the country pockets.

Any minor chord postion can be played over the relative major, ie; C maj/a min. Some standard runs and riffs with Es lowered can run into the A&B pedals down two frets up. Using strings 9, 7, 5 up and down the neck make for a nice jazzy sound, and you can use A&B pedals for added flavor. Also if you're in that Es lowered position (for example in the key of G) go to the higher up open-no pedals position of G and grip strings 4,5 and 7. Play around up there bouncing of the A and B pedals and moving up and down the neck.

| Don't forget about timing. Some of the neatest stuff I've ever heard came from the timing of stuff and not the lick itself. |
