I play lap steel. Mine just has two necks, four legs, and it's own lap...

Hi Ray,
I just tried out your example. Love it!
Thank you,

The way I read Ray's chord is a first inversion Fmin6. This may be because playing the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th string barred straight read as a first inversion of a F6. Then dropping the fifth string down into this split bar gives us the min6. I guess we would need the presence of a 5th or a flatted 5th t...
