Pedal Steel Chord Chart

Post by Kevin Raymer »

I've always struggled with keeping my mind right around where to grab the best most convenient position and combination for chords.

I bought this the other day, and I love it.

If you're new or even semi new to pedal steel I recommend you invest the $5 in this.

At least IMHO it's worth it..

I've been using this for so long the price was $1.95 when I bought my 1st copy.

BTW: the fret location for A dim. chord is off one fret. I brought that to Scotty's attention and he said no one had noticed that before. :whoa:

Thanks. My Books have chord charts but something stand alone I could hang in my room would be useful.

Thanks again!

I wonder if there is a C6 version? I will look.

When I tried to learn to play steel 36 or so years ago, this book and one other that covered basics slanted towards a Maverick was all there was. No teachers near my area.

I may, in fact, be nuts. However, I am screwed onto the right bolt... Jesus!

I bought this C6th Chord Dictionary in the late 70s at the Sho-Bud Store on Lower Broad in Nashville. I don't remember what it cost.

I asked Neil about it last fall in St. Louis and he said it took him three years to translate it from a regular guitar chord book.

When I switched back to playing steel after playing jazz guitar for 15 years, it really sped up my ability to move jazz tunes to the steel.

I don't know where you could find one today.
