www.UniversalChordMapper.com Thanks Eugene for the zoom tip on MSIE. I used to be a big fan of Internet Explorer, but have found it to be most problematic of late. Can't recommend it any more. Perhaps a change in zoom level will mitigate some layout issues that I've been having with IE. Great the w...

www.UniversalChordMapper.com To the left of the chart are the control icons to add strings and raise or lower the pitch of each string. Any tuning can be customized into any other tuning using these controls. You cannot delete strings, so start with a tuning that has no more than the number of stri...

I stand corrected...

BTW - The second guitar from the left in your photo (so pretty) looks almost identical to an "Electric Hawaiian" that I used to have, except mine had one white replacement tuner button and a missing bass string.

There is a pickup embedded in the neck which is difficult to access.

You can't go wrong!

Great tone, perfect string spacing and scale-length.

Loved that Carvin D10, but the string spacing was a little too close for me. That, along with a somewhat longer scale, made it harder to execute the slants.

Thanks Paul,

I hear you and have made it so that music will not play by default.

I want to let everybody know that I have reactivated my website: http://www.LapSteelGuitar.com . This website offers music and many photos of lap steels, along with historical and pictorial commentary, links to other informational websites, current eBay listings...more and more info as time goes on....

You're the observant one

Not a problem. Just keep moving and that won't happen.

Had to do something when the audio stops.

Click the back button on your browser and refresh your screen when the pesky thing does that...

As far as I can tell, there is nothing like this on the Internet.

Once I get this thing working better and add more info, tracks, progressions, chords, etc., I'll see if I can come up with a version for pedal steel. I'm sure it can be done...

I will be coming forth with the ability to save "state" (remember where you were) and save your custom tunings. Lots more features coming up! Be patient...this thing is frying my brain, but I'm turning up the heat... And don't let the occasional server error frighten you. It means I'm stil...

www.UniversalChordMapper.com Non-pedal steel players will appreciate this chord mapping system. Really allows you to visualize the patterns on the fretboard. Works for any stringed instrument with a fret/fingerboard. Create your own tunings or select from dozens. Add strings and raise or lower the ...

I'm still struggling with the display of the notes. Sometimes the map will show an Eb when it should technically show a D# or visa versa. Sometimes it might show an E# instead of an F. Especially on the scales and DIM chords of certain keys. The information is still correct, but violates key signatu...

I was probably tweaking it when you tried to access it. Seems to be working OK now. There may be short interruptions in service when I'm working on it. Please try again...let me know if the problem persists...
THANKS!!!!!

Also, if you get a server error, please be patient. That means I'm working on it, I broke it and I'm fixing it. If the outage lasts too long, that means I must have fallen asleep. Please wake me up!

Thanks,it truly is meant for your enjoyment and edification.

I'm new to the forum, but have been watching for a long time. I'd like to introduce my upgraded tuning/chord mapping system... http://www.UniversalChordMapper.com This web-based application works for any stringed instrument with a fretboard (or fingerboard), fretted or fretless.
