C6th Pedal Steel Guitar-3-Why "D" On The Bottom-1

Maurice used a C on the bottom of his Bb6th tuning, which is equivalent to using a D on the bottom of a C6th tuning instead of the more common low C. C6th players like John Hughey, Curley Chalker etc have used a D on the bottom at some point of their careers too. This video explains the single note-uses got enhance the lower register of the 7th string rooted Major 6th position (the tuning's namesake) from 2 positions made possible by the D note on the bottom and how it also leads into the 8th string root position, as well as some chordal applications not possible with the C on the bottom
