Chart I made to help me with Basics

I just wanted to share a Chart I made to help me with some Basics. I realize that there are many other possibilities. I don't know if this makes sense to anyone but me. What do y'all think?

Makes perfect sense. A good basic guide. After getting comfortable with these and you have memorized all these positions, you can make charts for other positions. But a good place to start, keeping things simple and keeping you honest until they are committed to memory. Good Luck with you PSG adventure

Thanks Jerry O. I'm sitting here at home... chomping at the bit... WAITING for my "New to Me" MSA S10 to be delivered by Fedx. It was suppose to be delivered tomorrow, but to my surprise, it's a day early.

You know, there's no need to try to figure out things on your own. A couple of good references like Winston and Keith's "Pedal Steel Guitar" or DeWitt Scott's "Deluxe Steel Guitar Method" will help a lot. Or when you get the guitar, find someone locally that can play, and ask for some help. Good luck.

Yes.... thanks.... I have a couple guys that are going to help me out. About once a month we go visit our kids 3.5 hours away. I'll be getting together with them.

Looks like a great aid for beginners like me... I have something similar, but yours has more detail ðŸ˜ŽðŸ˜ŽðŸ˜Ž

Larry, you can print it out if you'd like.

Larry, you can print it out if you'd like. I just took a photo of my guitar and then edited it. It took a little time. But it's on my phone so I can reference it when need be.

Actually, it stays with you better if you do work it out on your own... then you'll understand the logic and principles underlying the result, rather than just trying to remember the result itself.

Having said that, I do think those two books are very worthwhile additions.
