[Em] [Dm] [Gb] [Em]
We are looking today [N] at the C6 low tuning and that comes in a couple of different variations
but this one [G] is pretty common.
We're looking at an 8 string lap steel guitar today.
We
have the G on the 8th string of the lowest string.
[B] Next string we [A] have here is an A.
We [C] then have a C, [E] we have an E, [Em]
[G] and then it repeats G, [A] A, [C]
C, [Em] and E.
So, you've got [C] G,
A, C, E, G, A, C, E, and that is a C6 chord.
A couple of things [Em] about this tuning is that
if you ignore these two lower [G] strings, the 7th and 8th in other words, you [B] get your 6th
string [C] C6.
C, E, G, A, C, E.
So, if you're coming from a [G] 6 string guitar and you're switching
up to 8, [C] this is a good option because it looks a lot like the C6 that you may have
become very familiar with on your 6 string guitar.
All the notes from 1 through 6 is
that same [Eb] tuning.
You're [A] just adding here a lower A and [G]
a lower G.
So, it [C] is very related
to the 6 string lap steel in C6.
Your C6 is here, [D] your [Bm] D6 is at the 2nd [E] fret, E6 is at
4, [Gm] [Dm] F is at 5, etc.
So, all the chords that you [F] already know are [E] still there [D] when [C]
you
switch over to an 8 [Am] string.
[G] [F] That's what makes [E] the transition [D] a [C]
little easier for [F] you and
you can start enjoying your extra [Eb] range [E] as you need [D] it.
