Lord willing I'll be buying that from you . I'd really like you to include Tom Brummley songs if yodou do it

[randytelecaster]

Thanks. Can you do Under Your Spell ?

Thanks Ralph Mooney and that one might be tough, but who knows.... It would require a tuning with a high G#.

I'm making a full-length instructional video on Bakersfield style for non-pedal steel, probably be ready in December.

[RedNigger2]

is this a C6 tuning?

[ionahoopii]

No, E9.

Why do you use such an offensive name?

[randytelecaster]

How do you get an E 9 on a 6 string ?

[ionahoopii]

Top 6 six strings of the old 8 string E9 tuning: E B G# F# D B

I also play this stuff in C6.

Great video! I understand the tuning. What gauge strings do you use? Do I need to buy a special set?

I bought a Peavey powerslide and would like to change the tuning from the typical Open E major dobro tuning.

Thanks
