I couldn't answer with just one choice. I try to play a little bit of everything.

I play mostly country, and as far as chords go, I notice a lot of 1's, 4's and 5's, with a 2 once in a while. One chord I do like is one I play over the 5 sometimes. If the 5 is at the 3rd fret, f'rinstance, I play strings 4, 5, 6 and 9 at that fret with the first pedal down, and then ease back into the 1, same fret, both pedals down. The trick is to either block the 9th string or lower it a half tone when you go to the 1.

I like to play the 1, 4, and 5. And of course, the occasional 2. And who amongst us could avoid the 2m. Not to be ignored is the 3, or the 4 over 5, or for that matter, the 3 over the 1. And there's the 5m over the 1, the 6 over the 1, the 2 over 4, the 6 over 4, et al.
Did I leave out the 7 over 5? It's a diminished substitution.
Then there's the passing chords, but that's for another poll.

Son, we live in a world with walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with steel guitars. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?

And the Heart Over Mind.the 2 over 4, the 6 over 4, et al.
The bestest chord is that 6/9 guitar players play at the 12th fret, where they get an open E or A in. I just can't find that voicing on a steel guitar.

We don't have that chord. We have our OWN ending chords that the guitarists envy.Cal Sharp wrote:And the Heart Over Mind.the 2 over 4, the 6 over 4, et al.

BTW, I'm glad you mentioned the Heart over Mind chord. It's often confused with the I'm Not over You Yet chord, greatly favored by chick singers.
Hey, I apologize... sincerely... for the thread hi-jack. I'm just havin' a little fun.

I play whatever style the cats I'm playing with are doing. As a sideman, I'm there to add to what they're doing, not take it over.
I don't quite have enough of a grasp of jazz harmony to go much beyond 7ths, 9ths and 6ths.
And when I play Heart Over Mind, I quote "Girl From Ipanema." It fits.

2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects

Yeah, that Aug11th that Charleton was so fond of. Now that sounds really anemic on a guitar.We have our OWN ending chords that the guitarists envy.

With the band I currently play with, the Shinolas, we do everything from Hank to the Ramones! Ryan Adams, Steve Earle, Doris Day, REK, Byrds, Credence, NRBQ,Beach Boys, Beatles, Wailin' Jennys, Sonny Rollins. We cover a lot of ground. Many styles. It's a blast for me. I could not see myself doing a straight country gig for any lenght of time.
