Bob G. - If the pro's wanted to continue to work, they would lobby for E9th. If all they wanted to do is play at steel guitar shows, they'd opt for C6th.

Gee Terry, I appreciate that nice comment.
BUT, if you want to say nice things to and about me, you'll have to stand at the back of a LOOONG and patiently adoring queue.
I'm pretty sure that's why they're lined up?!

Don't be fooled by all those posts that appear to be flames; around here, explEtives deleted - {no more of that, Marty. -b0b-}- ok b0b- sorry etc. are really terms of endearment.

That's just how we express affection; I think.

Kenny D.

You have a point. When I saw Chalker c. 1965, he had C6 and I think E13 with a couple of pedals. Shortly after that, he went to Nashvul and came up with a full blown E9....to survive, I assume.

I hope the public's taste goes back some day to western swing.

...and I like E9, too.

[(quote from Kenny).... "If the pro's wanted to continue to work, they would lobby for E9th. If all they wanted to do is play at steel guitar shows, they'd opt for C6th".....]

True words....remember how Chalker "sweated blood" force-feeding himself to play "country E9" when he went on the Hee Haw Show?

My Opinion - S13 - Extended E9th-10+3
<center>(G#, E, B on bottom)</center>

Don't sacrifice the 9th string/D -
Easier to spot string groupings -
Just makes more sense --
It's virtually ALL THAT + -

I think I finally understand what Jeff L. is trying to say. We all need triple-necks, like Johnny. Right?
