(copedent was here, but I deleted it - see below)

string gages are:

.015
.018
.020
.022
.030W
.034W
.038W
.049W

Now I can leave it to the theorists to ponder the whys and whats of the changes. I had most of mine set up the old way and working pretty well - this doesn't look drastically different, but it IS correct.

Edited to add - sorry, I deleted the copedent - I tried the UBB formatting and again have not been able to make it work. I have no clue how to fix this. 5 tries at this and it never works (FWIW UBB formatting rarely works on any other boards either. Why they don't just use html is beyond me). If anyone has a clue other than the notes in the help files (the tab commands with the brackets) please feel free to let me know, because those don't do anything at all.

I really would like to post it as several peple have been asking about it lately in emails, and I thought it might be interestng to discuss again because it IS unusual - I;ve heard it described as an abbreviated universal tuning.

huh?

He plays a B6 tuning, so I don't know how that applies.

No, Anita doesn't play, really, but she does work as "guitar tech".

b0b - I'll try the notepad method when I get some time. Every other method has resulted in a mess...

[This message was edited by Jim Sliff on 06 December 2005 at 04:57 PM.]

I remember him using a few in the middle too. I'm thinking of a condensed U8 tuning with 5, maybe 6 pedals and 2 knees. 8 or 9 pedals on one neck is too many for this simple guy!

His common pedals are 1&2 like on the E9. The same pulls but in B6. The copedent shows a "Day" setup. If you reverse pedals 1&2 it would be an "Emmons" set up on a std. E9 but tuned to B6. Hope that helps.

Odd term usage. Any idea where it came from?

Dave - yeah, still need one newer-type rod and pedal set.

Is this the setup?

	LKL	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	RKR
D+	C+	.	E	.	.	.	D 	.	.	.	.
B 	.	.	.	.	A+	.	.	C+	A+	.	C+
G+	.	.	.	A 	.	.	.	.	.	G 	.
F+ 	.	G+	.	.	.	F	.	.	.	.	A 
D+	.	.	E	.	.	.	D 	.	.	.	.
B 	.	.	.	.	.	.	.	.	C+	.	.
G+	.	.	.	A 	.	.	.	.	.	G 	.
F+ 	.	G+	.	.	.	.	.	.	.	.	.

The result will still be slightly fouled up (I don't know why), but a lot easier to correct.

Funny, all this time, I thought "Mica" was the marshall on the old TV show "The Rifleman"!

Any sound clips? I'd like to hear it.
