C6th note chart

Post by Dom Franco »

Here is a note chart I have developed for the C6th tuning. I use the chart to teach my students the relationship between standard music notation and the steel guitar fretboard.

Slick!!

I have the Cindy Cashdollar training DVD's -- the booklet that comes with it has a "C6th Tuning Fretboard - 8 string" diagram much like your diagram. I've highlighted in yellow the Middle C notes. This chart is always on my music stand as I attempt to learn to play my lap steel. Just yesterday I used the chart to make a TAB of a song. It worked! And I'm not jumping all over the neck either Image

Thanks

Hi Dom,
What a great chart. I've printed it off, it'll come in really handy. Thanks for sharing it with us, I appreciate it. That's a nice website you have too. I snooped around in it while I was pilfering(sp)(spelling police please don't come after me about this!!) the chart off of it. Thanks again,

Joy

It's a free site so it has probably exceeded the daily bandwidth limit. Try again another day

Dom,

I wanted to say thanks again for sharing your tuning chart! I have printed it off and I am making a colour coded "map" for each basic chord, VERY helpful for me as a beginner.

Thanks very much!

Maybe someone with functional webspace can upload it and post a link? The Free site is frozen for the rest of the month...

Sorry;
My web service informed me that I had used up my alloted bandwith this month. I guess I will have to upgrade.

I will email the chart to anyone who would like it, just contact me.

Thanks for the interest
