One night not too long ago, I went to bed and all those shapes - well the slants - were still going, and it blended in with my dream state I guess. I was dreaming I was playing, and could hear it, and was writing this piece; you know, like 'oh, I can go down there with the bar right here,' and I'd hear it, and then I'd move the bar up and hear it. I can only hope I start playing that instinctively while awake some day. :) I am having the exact experience as you.
my jam band mates have been remarking for the last month or so. they noticed and have asked if I were studying theory.
arent we the ones now! :D]]> Slide and Alternate tunings dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/went-back-to-c6-and-now-im-stuck/#post-160140 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/went-back-to-c6-and-now-im-stuck/#post-160134 Fri, 17 Feb 2006 16:59:58 +0000

'Cept, I tuned it up to D, didn't like the positions I'd be playing in (we do mostly key of D stuff, but I like starting around the 5th fret), so I tuned it down to A, and...that's pretty much it. I'm still fooling around with amp models on the POD. I like the Blackface with a bit of drive (no compression), and the tone control almost halfway down - real creamy 'womantone' sort of sound.

And I read something on SteelGuitarForum about some guy trying his steel through an old Marshall, so I tried the 60s Marshall model.

Not bad!]]> Slide and Alternate tunings DemoEtc https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/went-back-to-c6-and-now-im-stuck/#post-160085 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/went-back-to-c6-and-now-im-stuck/#post-157939 Thu, 09 Feb 2006 16:59:31 +0000
here is a simple slant for C6.

5th fret key of F strings 2 and 5. (I)
slant backwards on the 5th string to the 6th fret leaving the 2 string as is. you now have a Bd7 (IV)
next slide the slant up two frets and you have C. (V).

now my pedal steel pic:

Yes I am!! No you're not!!!! Yes I am!!!!!! :lol:

It's a good idea to stick to one tuning until the basics and then some are covered, but then.... believe me, you'll be bitten by the Tuning Bug....... And then there's always some more strings. And another neck.... Hmmmm, why haven't anyone thought of adding some pedals to this thing? :D

Ah, so many tunings, so little time...... :wink:

Steinar Hehe, just kidding man :)

But yes, again. I feel comfortable with Standard tuning on normal guitars, and open D, open G, and that Keola 'mostly standard' slack-key tuning (CGDGBE), so I'll probably never go through even a hundredth of all the steel tunings out there. All those E13 and E11 and B9s and stuff.

Looks like C6 (or D6) will be the one for the foreseeable future.

Probably will never go to 8- or 10-strings either :)

PS: you guys aughta check out the Feet D maj though. It's really a fun tuning. It's actually...I guess it breaks down to a 5-string tuning because the Ds on the bottom are octave. DDF#ADF#. Lots of 3 string slants (I hope that's the right term - but it's like 1st string + 3rd string) both forward and backward, with only 1 fret distance. And having the 3rd of the chord on top is pretty interesting.]]> Slide and Alternate tunings DemoEtc https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/went-back-to-c6-and-now-im-stuck/#post-157777 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/went-back-to-c6-and-now-im-stuck/#post-157774 Thu, 09 Feb 2006 01:37:36 +0000 And, as Jerry Bird is reported to have said: "It's not the tuning, it's the player"........ :wink:
