chord chart

Post by George McLellan »

A while back someone had posted his website for chords on the E9th and C6th necks. A very good chart that you could type in the chord you were looking for and it would come right up. I had it booked marked and now somehow it got deleted. Does anyone still have that page?

Here's one I use:

Select E9 or C6, and then put in your copedent, and you're rockin.

GEORGE, YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE YOUR ANSWER BUT I WILL FORWARD WHAT I HAVE, AND WHERE I GOT IT. A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO [MAYBE 4 OR 5] I GOT WIND OF A CHORD CHART FOR E-9TH SET UP BY MEL BAY'S PEDAL STEEL. I PURCHASED IT FROM GLEN ROSE MUSIC P.O.

IT CONTAINS 48 CONBINATIONS OF OPEN, PEDEL, AND KNEE LEVER SETS, ON THE INSIDE FOLDOUT, AND ON THE BACK AN E9TH TUNING CHART FOR 3P'S AND 4K'S.FOR E9TH TUNING.

made my own

Most all steel players have a slightly unique copedant. I certainly do. So what I did is I figured out that there were 180 possible different combinations of pedals and knee levers on my five pedal five knee S-12.

Then I made 180 charts (took eighteen pages and about eight hours) of what the 180 different tunings would be for each of those different pedal/knee combinations. Then I wrote in all the chords (and scales) I already knew about, and started looking for new ones, scanning the 12 different notes to see what chords pop up. (It wasn't so hard, and it was fun and stimulating and useful, because I've been doing music theory left-brain stuff for a long time, and if you tell me A, C#, F#, and E, I can spot an F#m7 (AKA A6) chord pretty quick.) Might not be practical for everybody, but the difference is this: If you do it yourself, YOU WILL REMEMBER IT!

If you just get somebody else's chart, it might not fit your copedant exactly, you might not understand how all those chords got there, and you will have to keep looking them up for a while before they will stick in your memory. I actually learned some new chords (and some new scale patterns) that I now actually use every day... FUN!
I give music lessons on several different instruments in Cambridge, NY (between Bennington, VT and Albany, NY). But my true love is pedal steel. I've been obsessed with steel since 1972; don't know anything I'd rather talk about... www.barryhyman.com
