Ooops! High to low: E,C,A,G,E,C.

They are of course also playable on these C13th tunings: E,C,A,G,E,C,Bb,C or G,E,C,A,G,E,C,Bb if you move everything one string lower.

Also ... the Dmaij13 chord is played by holding the bar almost vertically so the tip just stops string 1& 2

Andy, these are cool! Please post more when
you are motivated! One interesting note -
as I play the first example, it sounds to
me like this is a turnaround for Eb...

-Bill

PS Is there a book or chart for C6 that
shows myriad positions and fingerings
for most of the chord types (anyone own
Ted Green's "Chord Chemistry" for std
guitar? That book must have at a thousand
chord diagrams).

Bill, you could certainly use #1 for the key of Eb by eliminating the last two chords. I use it in tunes in C minor like "Blue Bossa".
I just hear it that way. Some of the harmony ideas here came from a book on Tal Farlow's guitar style written by Steve Rochinski.

As for chords, and theory for C6th, the 3 best sources I've ever come across are:

1) Jerry Byrd's instruction Book (available
through Scotty's & big bucks (about $100)
but it includes a number of invaluable
chord progression/slant bar charts).

2) "Nashville Guide to Chord Substitution"
By Doug Jerningan?
3) "Doug Jernigan's Guide to Scales for C6th"
I bought these from Frenchy's Music in
Belen, NM and have never seen them
elsewhere. They are typewritten, low
end, GBC-bound softcover books
that feature tons of valuable
info. I haven't memorized it all by any
means of it but I certainly dip in from
time to time. For the scale book, I just
ignore strings 1,9,10 since it's written
for pedal steel.
