In
another topic , I described a copedent called D6th Chromatic. I've put the copedent on a Desert Rose S-10 and recorded a few songs to demonstrate it.
First up, playing along to Bernie Leadon B-Bender in a 70s hit:

Then, copying Dan Dougmore's licks in a modern country tune:

My friends Allegra and Sam of
Solid Air live-streamed a show on Facebook. I thought it would fun to play and got their permission to add a steel part:

Many years ago I wrote a jazz tune on E9th that translated well to the D6th:

The most recent is a spacey thing I wrote to highlight the harp-like feature of the tuning:

I'm happy to answer any questions about the recordings or the copedent, which is:

Here's one more, just recorded today. It's a medley of Westphalia Waltz and Gardenia Waltz, with accompaniment by Band-In-A-Box:

Interesting, b0b. Makes me wish I has a single neck with a bunch of pedals lying around.

Listening to Peaceful Eagles I really liked the timbre of the steel, seemed so much more mellow than E9th standard voicings.
Curious what pickup is in your Desert Rose?
Very enjoyable, thanks bOb.

Thanks, Mike. The pickup is a
Telonics X10 , through a Telonics volume pedal and a Strymon Iridium (Fender amp emulation).

I just noticed that I made a web page for these 5 songs, back in April:

I really like the way the "chromatic" strings and E9th A+B pedals enhance the D6th tuning.
