It won't help; you still won't sound like him.

| I had one of Chalker's black MSA's in my apartment in Vegas for several months, and I sure didn't sound like him... |

| Winnie Winston has it in his great book. Curly had the same setup for many years. |

It is interesting to note how many different pulls he has on the higher A string. Most C6 copedents don't have an A->Ab pull whereas CC has THREE ways to do it.

More ways to play!
I see three ways to get Bb (LKV1 - with F on string 1, LKV2 - with Eb, and both - leaving the E on the first string). Bb is of course the dominant 7th in the key of C. Extensive use of that rather than the 6th is what has Curly's style sounding more like jazz and less like Western swing. The 6th sound was a dated sound in jazz that wasn't used as much after the '30s. But the 7th, along with the flatted 3rd are corner stones of blues based jazz, which is where jazz went after the '30s.[This message was edited by David Doggett on 08 August 2005 at 09:57 AM.] |
