Where can I find C6th pockets(sound) on the E9th neck?

I know about lowering the E's at the four chord position but there must be others.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim

The A6 chord you get with the A+B pedals is also very useful for C6-style single note playing. One caveat is to avoid rocking off and on the A pedal unless you want it to sound country (INSTEAD of western)!

You can also get some interesting stuff going between the E to D# lever position (C at the 1st fret) and the A+B position (C at the 3rd fret).

Along with the A and B pedals down position with the seventh string as the sixth tone. Two frets up; with just the "B" pedal; from the no pedals 1 chord position is a whole 6/9 chord.
In C; it would look like this:
<font size="3" face="monospace"><pre>
1. 8 (9th) 1. 10 (3rd)
2. 8 (M7) 2. 10 (L1/2>1)
3. 8 (3rd) 3. 10b (5th)
4. 8 (1) 4. 10 (9th)
5. 8 (5th) 5. 10 (6th)
6. 8 (3rd) 6. 10b (5th)
7. 8 (9th) 7. 10 (3rd)
8. 8 (1) 8. 10 (9th)
9. 8 (flat7) 9. 10 (1)
10.8 (5th) 10. 10 (6th)
</pre></font>
The first row of numbers is the string number
The second row of numbers is the fret(key c)
The third row in "()" is the tone of that string.

One minor correction to the above, the 10th string is a 6th in that position, not a 5th.

Oops; I ment to put a (6th); but (5th) came out. Thanks for the heads up Jim. I'll go fix it.

Hey, Ricky,

How the heck do ya "go fix it?" I mean, when you've submitted a post and realize that something is in error, how do you go in and change it? This is probably something that I should be asking bOb rather than bothering you with... but I'm just curious. BTW, thanks for all the tab and help over the last few months. It's really wonderful stuff.

Hey Dean; the little pencil by your name is the edit icon. Just click it by your name and it will take you to your post message; then just fix what ills you; and re-submit edited post; and your there.
Oh and your quite welcome for all the tab; and there are gobs to come.

Beware D-10 players! You're venturing into the clutches of the U-12.

I use the A pedal by itself quite a bit. That gives you a 6 tone at the pedals up 1 chord position which is an easy one for me to use with the lowered E's position.

Mr. Eller, How ya doin'? Try thinking of you 9th string as the root note, B pedal down and in combination with the A pedal down (nice maj 7th) lots of possibilities there. Frank Rogers
