E6 Tuning Lap Steel Helpful Fretboard Chart

Paul Hutzler · From: Seattle, Wa

I've been working out some Don Helms stuff and spending some time with the E6 tuning and wanted to share this chart.

The tuning is from low to high :

E, G#, B, C#, E, G#

The chart is based around the G chord and shows groupings of notes that are relevant to playing major pentatonic stuff 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, as well as a couple of blue notes b3 and b7.

This isn't a thorough chart that includes every possible note. Instead, it is a chart that attempts to show groupings and pockets of notes.

Maybe someone will find it useful!

Nice job! This also applies very well to C6th tuning, which uses the same intervals listed (1-3-5-6-1-3).
