As they used to say in the Swing Era, "Solid!" Its hard to swing without a good rhythm section. These guys are tight.

Ken's steel work is amazing. It is joyful, bluesy and still very Hawaiian sounding. A real treat.

Konabob does, since he plays in G6. I think it is (from bottom): G B D E D G, but that's a guess. Transfering my C13 to G, it would be: E B D E G B. Bob - ?

G D E G B D bottom to top. You retain your accustomed chord tones on top, have the sixth easily accessible, and have a 1-5 with no 3rd on the bottom.

... and relative minor on the E G B string set. Very handy!

And the low 1 and 5 at the bottom come in handy when the bass player is late ;)
