In this lesson, i give you an introduction to A6 tuning for lap steel, a great tuning to play some classic western swing music!
A6 tuning is an easy re-tune from C6 tuning and that’s what this lesson is all about: learning A6 tuning from your knowledge of C6 tuning, a great way to avoid making your head explode when you start learning multiple tunings 🙂
You can also get the accompanying files below, which include 15 pages of high-quality PDF diagrams, chord charts…
I also get questions all the time about the gear i use so you will also find below links to useful accessories (strings, picks and bars…) as a reference (not exhaustive of course).
