My son got Don's course a few years ago and the tuning was E6th:
High to Low:
G#-E-C#-B-G#-E
I use it regularly on my lap steel now too.------------------

This is from Brads page of steel: http://www.well.com/user/wellvis/donhelms.html
. Don's tunings were (bass to treble):Outside neck- A C# E G# B C# E G#
(Don calls this tuning an E6) Inside neck - F# A B D# F# A C# E
(Don calls this tuning a B13) Almost all of Don's classic leads were done on the E6; he used the B13 for fills. |
