Wow!!!!
Valuable resource. Cheers mate!
Thanks for this, you’re awesome
Is that a mistype for the Open E @ 8:52 ? I thought I heard Alan say E for 6th string , which is indeed the ' standard " E tuning of EBEG#BE ? Or is the A as typed a different variant on purpose ?
@@filianablanxart8305 I think he leaves out the bottom E, but I agree. He seems to leave the bottom E out. I haven't tried out the possibilities with the A on the bottom, but for a standard that would be E.
I can’t begin to describe how much I love this! I’ve been using shelter in place to learn dobro and lap steel. I don’t have a real lap steel, but I rigged my electric guitar to be similar to one by hitching the action up. Either way, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for.
What a wonderful lesson Alan. Kudos to you for keeping Hawaiian steel guitar alive.
Thanks for the lesson, Alan. Thanks for making it available, Troy.
There is so much information in this video I think it needs to be watched 5 times to get it all. You da man!
Excellent video. I've learned heaps. I too love the B11 tuning. Loved all the playing.
Very interesting...and very technically way over my head. Thanks for posting.
Extremely helpful, love this guy’s teaching.
Where has this guy been all this time hiding from us this is incredible all these tunings wow I never thought they existed I've always played the e tuning on my lap steel guitar and C6 tuning sir you are really good at what you do I love the tuning beautiful
Thanks , This is GOLD
Excellent! Thank you for taking the time to share this.
Excellent Sir! I've learned many things from this workshop. Thanks!
What a beautiful sounding guitar what ever the tuning!
i own that same kind of steel but with an E6 tuning. alan akaka is fantastic.
Alan Akaka..uma das grandes referênciais vida steel guitar hawaian..gosto muito do seu estilo de manusear o toque desse lindo instrumento hawaiano.
Very Nice... muito top mesmo
Really fantastic lesson, thank you!
Jerry Byrd (a dear friend) is the steel guitar player; that created and embellished to the "nth" degree; the "C6th" tuning, in the early 40's until he passed away.
He stated this many times in his career. I have heard some say that the Hawaiians created it earlier. I truly doubt that, BUT...it could be true.
But Alan Akaka is an expert when it comes to Hawaiian steel guitars and its players. So I am sure he has researched it to the "nth" degree. And if so, I would go with what he says. I call Alan the "King" of steel guitar today, except for pedal steel guitar players.
Before I published my book titled "The Evolution of the Pedal Steel Guitar", I began with Hawaiian tunings on their steel guitars; so that I could teach how and what the pedals did. And they are in essence; changing the tuning of the guitar to what it was without pedals; using a myriad of necks and different tunings. The only difference is; they are capable of resolving tuning to tuning with awesome phrasings. The following is the difference between laptop and pedal steel guitar examples:
ruclips.net/video/PlPfL755vG4/видео.html (C6) Laptop Steel Guitar
ruclips.net/video/TI56hQOsmos/видео.html (E9) Pedal Steel Guitar
PSG's today that are played by the greats can emulate probably 99% of all tunings from its creation; by using a slew of pedals and/or palm benders. It is amazing. But...
Jerry Byrd on a laptop steel guitar could play songs so beautiful; that one would think he used pedals. Oh indeed. I believe Alan would agree with this. He truly was THE greatest steel guitar player (save Buddy Emmons-dear friend) that will ever have lived, IMHO.
May Jesus rest the souls of Jerry and Buddy. I miss both of them so much.
Thank you Alan for making this video. It is great kind Sir.
Gostaria ver essas afinação em português
Excellent! Many Thanks
How in the world does he get those gentle articulations so consistently? It's one of those nuances a layperson would not notice, but which must take tons of practice.
Is the treble rolled off some?
How many different tunings can you do on the same set of strings.
Thank you for sharing.
I share this video whenever anyone asks me about tunings
I really like the flexibility of changing the tuning like that ... what string gauges would you recommed for the main 6 strings?
Mahalo Kumu Akaka…this presents the tunings “as they grew” which makes a lot of sense…now to learn to discern the flavors…
Uma pena que não entendo o idioma. Mais pelo feito. É um ótimo profissional
Very nice and beautiful.Let me know the string gauges please
Pretty Cool
👍Thank You,
C6 is very versatile.
Yup! That's why I'm learning it!
🔥 love it!
E C# G# F# D B 18:15 😍
E9add6th
@@INDYOSKARS E13th. This would be proved if you added 2 more strings where string 7 is a G# and string 8 is E.
@@MrPatdeeee
I thought that a 13th chord is made up from a 6th+7th
(not maj.7h) which adds up to 13.
Same as E9th has a 7th (D) (not maj.7h) with a 9th (F#)
A 9th ? What the heck is that ? The scale only has 8 notes ?
So the 9th must be the note above the octave.
Why it isn´t called the 2nd don´t ask me
(it also has the name of sus2).
So E9th has a 7th (D) plus a 2nd (or a ´9th´) (F#) note.
E9th= 7th+2nd= 9th.
Actually I would want to call this tuning "E9add6"
or "E13add9"
"E15"= E C#(6th) G# F#(2nd) D(7th) B
6+7+2= 15
