When I was trying to learn Gabby's "Chloe" I was almost sure it was the C13 tuning Jeff described. 'Northwest Ann Arbor, Michigan's King Of The Hawaiian Steel Guitar' Bobby's version is pretty much Gabby's version (except with that Bobby Ingano touch thrown in). I've played this tune with Bobby Ingano many times and he uses his version of C6 (high G on top). I wish I could remember more, but I'm away from home right now without a geetar and it has been quite a while since I've heard the tune.
The first chords of the tune (A7 to D9 to G13)incorporate an open E string, (except for the G13). If you slow down the strum in the intro, I believe you hear a 7 note G13 arpeggio right before he starts to play the melody. I remember working it out one time, and if memory serves, it was an E13 tuning. from memory I'm pretty certain Gabby played this tuning (on his 8-string, single-neck, short-scale Fender Stringmaster): I haven't heard the recording in a while but I'm going to take a stab at it. It's certainly workable in A6, but I've become obsessed with getting it right. There's a quiet moment in the intro where he strums out a fat chord (just before he starts the pick-up lick) that doesn't seem to come from a standard 6th tuning.
I can do just about the whole thing note for note in A6 (low to high F#-A-C#-E-F#-A-C#-E), but there's some stuff in there that I can't make fit without fudging it. I've been trying to tab out this tune lately, but I'm wondering if anyone has beat me to it?
