This is a link to the Buddy Emmons site's tab section, maintained by Ernie Renn. http://www.buddyemmons.com/tab_from_buddy.htm
Scroll down to "C6th Licks" and find "The Pocket Corner" and "Minor Abrasions in the Pocket" - I think Buddy probably coined the tern "pocket" to refer to these mental maps. On standard guitar they're called boxes, as in the "blues box" etc. Of course, when you stomp the pedals or use a different tuning like E9th, you have to mentally re-draw the pockets. |

Do yourself a favour, Wayne, and invest in Buddy's 'Basic C6th' course - that'll get you started.
In my opinion it's the best description available of the 'geography' of the back neck! |

Yeah, thanks Roger. I appreciate that, but I was actually just looking for some good conversation on the subject.

| I usually pick an arbitrary key and settle in to that for a few hours along with it's associated IV, V and minor chords. I look for scale boxes with no pedals, with pedal 7 pushed, with pedal 6 and a knee that lowers G to F which gives me a Dom7 IV chord, and with pedals 5, 6 and my A's lowered to Ab's and G to F, which gives me a C chord at the 4th fret. This gives me more than enough to entertain myself for hours. [This message was edited by David Mason on 27 July 2003 at 03:08 AM.] |

Wayne also take a good hard look at Threadzilla
http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum2/HTML/003549.html
It's principally aimed at 6 string C6, but it realy applies to 10 strings too. It's huge, but there is so much great stuff there for understanding the C6.[This message was edited by David L. Donald on 27 July 2003 at 03:04 AM.] |
