On your down the e-road following up on the referral to the steel guitar forum
sure to come from the poobmeister--what I have heard is that many weiss players
as well as some electric blues players like Derek Trucks tune to open E often.
Kelly Joe Phelps teaches it on his slide DVD training program.
Necessary reso content: JD plays in open E too, sometimes, I was told last
night at a small gig where I went to to see my first show with a NC made weiss.
Someday I may go up a lazy river with one of those--they are, as my son says,
"sweet." Terry, the slide player at the gig with the NC weiss said he had learned
this back stage at the Charlotte AKUS show.
I am going to try it on my Dobro (I can call it that--it's a nice Hound
Dog).

Weissenborn tunings?
Date: Sun, 5 Feb 2006 04:33:40 -0500
Hi All.
How many of
you tune your Weissenborn guitars in open D or open C? What string guages do you
use? Poob may complain of this but we can relate this to TIFKAD. (The Instrument
Formerly Known As Dobro). String guages
translate.
