Herb Remington A6 book?
A friend was telling me about a non pedal book by Herb of a number of his A6 tunes. Anybody know if this is still available?
Thanks!!
Pete

He was probably referring to the Herb Remington/Rick Alexander “Tuff Fun Tab” book. Herb and Rick are both gone now so I doubt the book is still available.

Re: Herb Remington A6 book?
I used to have a couple of Herb's beginner videos, and if I remember right every song was in A6th, that was his default tuning. I think there are still copies of his stuff floating around. Ethan Shaw was his student and might not be a bad person to ask about all things Herb Remington.

Re: Herb Remington A6 book?
Ernie Ball put out a five-folio series on A6th tuning back in the 1960's. Volume 1 started with 6 strings, volumes 2, 3, and 4 went to the 8 string tuning, and volume 5 was an introduction to pedals, probably intended for the Fender 400. These show up, as individual folios or the complete set, on eBay but not often.

Re: Herb Remington A6 book?
Speaking of A6 tunes/tab... I have a "16 Songs" book that includes 8 songs in A6 tuning (6-strings). USA shipping only.

Re: Herb Remington A6 book?
"Ernie Ball Method For Steel Guitar, Standard A-Sixth Tuning"
In 5 Books

There were also an additional 12 single arrangements available "to supplement books 2 and 3"
A "one-tuning" system eliminating deviation and confusion

I do have copies of the 5 folios but not the single arrangements. BUT they are in storage in California since I left there in 2013.
