This may be a topic for No Peddlers, but I couldn't find anything in a search, so I'm wondering what tunings Bud used, specifically on "Rose Room" from "The Swingin' Steel Guitar Of Bud Isaacs".

thanks much,
Drew

Drew-You mentioned "rose room" and that brought back memories. I used to play it every night on my Vega D8. E6 on the bottom neck and I used E6-E9 on the top neck.

But I don't know what Bud Issaces used, probably either A6 or E6. Just a guess...al

I don't know about the particular songs you mention. But here is Bud's 8-string E9 tuning at the time he added the two pedals to his Bigsby.
