Anyone recommend some charts for E7 lap steel showing grips scales chords, etc?

Thanks guys. I've done C6 lap, and E9 pedal, and tried the E7 lap, and could play it immediately. Just wanted to study it more.

I'm enjoying this tuning. Headed to the nursing home tonight to play some old style gospel.

Check out the old Roger Filiberto book Mel Bay has, if I recall it uses the E7 tuning:
B D E G# B E. |

David, I tune that [D] down a half step to a [C#].
That adds a nice minor sound. I think they refer to that as a [C# minor 7th] but your first 4 strings give you that [E7th]. |

Just so there is no mis-understanding.

1. E
2. B
3. G#
4. E
5. D
6. B

Wayne, I do that also now. That makes the E7 tuning an E6 variant. I like it, because it's easy to play melody lines.

I like that tuning too! It's very useful for Hawaiian music:

I put the D on my second string on my lap steel. That way, I can tune that string down a 1/2 step to C# for an E6 tuning for swing or a jazzier vibe then back to D for the E7 for a blues vibe.
This works for me as the pedal steel in E9, as well as being a guitar player I am able to play the positions that are familiar. |
