The Steel Guitar Forum

I just got done building this website this morning for learning NPS and it has 10 different E13 tunings as well as custom make-your-own tuning, and you can highlight whatever you like, there's all kinds of options and I plan to leave it forever FREE so people like us can learn this thing without a t...

Over the last week I managed to get the most useful tools from above into a simple website using PHP. It's got: - The fretboard visualizer tool with customizable key/degrees and highlighting, and 80 tunings to choose from. - The chord builder grid which displays degrees and notes based on chosen key...

Yeah just like guitar. I've been hearing "DADGAD" for my entire guitar playing career.
I do agree with Joe that it's confusing as hell to have strings numbered from high string to low string.
But I added an option to view the tuning list either way so all good for now.

Hey thanks for the feedback. Most of this data was sorted out with algorithms so I'm still cleaning it up by hand. F#13 is fixed, the other deleted. There may be another duplicate if it's a tuning know by 2 different names. And thanks for the copedent definition, I'm so new to all this. Looks like t...

Thanks for chiming in guys, much appreciated. Everyone's so nice here and it's just a goldmine of stories and info, I'm happy to donate the time/tools. This weekend's tool is a very minimal and quick-loading webpage that will auto-generate a copedent based on your choosing of any of the 80 tunings a...

Turns out that MXR 10-band EQ only has 6 useful faders for guitar/steel (approx 62.5 to 2k).
The highest 2 faders on that pedal (8k & 16k) don't even show up when mapped over a piano keyboard.

Sticking with the key of A for continuity.

I wanted to make a Fretboard that showed the degrees of other chords that I might be sliding by, so I have a spreadsheet too that I will probably share at some point. This is a screenshot of 8-string A6 tuning F♯AC♯EF♯AC♯E showing the degrees of all the progression chords and highlighting the one ch...

I spend more time building learning tools than practicing slant bar so this is a compilation of data and tools. This forum seems to be more populated by older pros, but just in case someone finds any of this useful...... tl;dr update : All of the tools and ideas in this thread are freely available a...
