This song is among the most very beautiful pieces you can find on youtube.
Marty Robbins, the finest "western" singer ever, and Jerry Byrd, "the master of touch and tone" on steel guitar. It gets no better than this!
Friends, this is what music was meant to be.

This is the A6 tuning that you use, which is good for songs like Sand, Waikiki, How Dya Do, and Coconut Grove. But C6 (the one I mentioned earlier) is good for songs like Aloha Oe, Beyond the Reef, Harbor LIghts, Blue Hawaii, and many other songs. I think that C6 is better for general use, but if you playing the other songs, use A6.

Traditionally tunings have been given from the top string down, the top string being the first or thinnest.

Thanks a lot.
I will try this.

I think the best way to tune a Hawaiian steel guitar is from the lowest string: C, E, G, A , C, E. This tuning really gives you good, Hawaiian sounding chords. Especially when you slide the bar up from one chord to the next and get the sweeping glissandi.
Derek .. Yes..

Jerry's own special C6/A7 from the top down-
E-C-A-G-E-C#-A
YES 7 strings... check out the other ones I posted there's comments about the 7string RESONATOR.
I think it's a "Sho-Bro" made specially for Jerry by Shot Jackson.

If I have a six string and wanted to play this, what do you think I should leave off, the A or the E?

Leave off the bottom string (A) it still is a very useful tuning.
Play all the strings at the third fret EXCEPT for the 6th and you have an Eb 6 chord, then go down two frets to the 1st fret and play all the strings EXCEPT the 2nd, and you have a Bb7, so, the tonic and the dominant seventh within two frets of each other.,
Play strings 1+2+4 at the third fret =Eb MAJOR, go up three frets (to the 6th) and play strings 2+3+5 = Eb MINOR. Want more? Google European Steel Guitar Forum.
