That is sad news. Lynn was an excellent steel tech and a great conversationalist as well as a fine player. He will be truly missed. | |

A quick browse through the Hank Williams repertoire (for example) will show that your premise is simply not true. | |

Steel guitar is what I call "key-agnostic". It doesn't really make any difference what key the tune is in, we can simply adjust our starting position as needed.

The ABE 9th on strings 654 is pretty much the classic pedal steel chord. Drop down 2 frets from a V with AB, add the E lever and presto: instant steel guitar goodness.
