Lap Steel C6 and/or C6/A7 Easy Chord Chart ?

Post by Tommy Kessler »

I was wondering if anyone has an easy chord chart for a beginner lap player ? C6 tuning and/or C6/A7 tuning

I guess I would compare it to like those guitar chord posters they make with all the basic major/minor/7/sus chords and bar chords for people to have hanging on their walls :D

Use ChordAlchemy or John Ely's Chord Generator and make your own. You actually learn whilst doing it.

Yeah...kind of strange that it doesn't exist...I made my own...
I found this C6 fretboard chart helpful, you can easily see straight and slant chords just by looking at it:

There is also an 8-string version of this.

THINGS I've heard.....................

I've read on this SGF that the JERRY BYRD Instructional Manual for Serious Minded players was really the best way to go.

You have the guy that made C6th/A7th the backbone of his playing/style for many, many years explaining in a factual and easy to understand manner how to get the ultimate out of this tuning. WHAT MORE could an aspiring player desire?

The JERRYBYRD-FANCLUB.com/ has a lot of songs to hear how full that tuning can be.

Funny, I think I found the exact same "poster" when I did a google images search !
