The Author of the master article listed a/the common tuning notes of C6 as "C-E-G-E-C-A"; But I think he intended to say C-E-G-A-C-E (1-3-5-6-1-3). I've never seen the author's version before, so am assuming it's a typo.
The 6th tuning (1-3-5-6-1-3) for any root note is a barn door to broad capability on Steel and Slide Guitars, ...in any style of Music.
Linked below is the largest and broadest discussion of C6 that I'm aware of, ...and I've searched far and wide over the last 17 years. It's also an excellent discussion of how scales and chords are navigated with a Steel Guitar's or Slide Guitar's open tuning; And covers all styles of music (well, not opera and hip-hop!): http://www.steelguitarforum.com/Forum2/HTML/003549.html . Although the online lesson site that sparked the discussion is intent on making the navigation of non-pedal Steel's scales and chords easy to understand (requires some basic music theory knowledge, ...with a theory briefer / refresher also provided); That discussion gets quite advanced, ...so here is an index that sorts out entries in the discussion relative to subject and experience level: http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum8/HTML/002238.html
Linked below is the largest community of Steelers on the planet, ...and great folks they are; An indexed treasure trove of information / discussions about pedal and non-pedal Steel Guitar, their Artists, their Music, learning resources, technical discussions and gear discussions: http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/index.php
Aloha, Denny T~. Author of the Lessons discussed.
