The Steel Guitar Forum

I put together a little C6th chord finder. You can define your own copedent and locate chords with it. It will also find partially voiced chords where optional notes (commonly the 5th) are not available. Everyone is welcome to try it and I welcome any comments or suggestions. However, inasmuch as I'm doing this for free in my spare time, I'm not planning to make extensive cosmetic changes to how it works (except for errors or bugs). I hope it is useful to you.

great thing! Thanks to share it with you, to bad it's a web- thing! I would love to have a software like that straight on my PC!
But Thanks 10000000x!

Thanks Jeff and Andy. I hope players will find this tool useful. It's my small contribution to the steel guitar community.

Great work Stephen.

WEll THAT my friend is a LARGE Contribution to the Steel Guitar Community, if you ask me.
Stephen "Red-Eye" O'Brien out did himself on this one....WOW...such an ultimate Tool....I can spend hours there; but my new pedal steel doesn't have a C6th neck on it as you will see in my latest post called "My New/Old Shobud LDG"...ha and it's the only pedal steel I own so .....
Anyway; Great Job Stephen You'da Man.
Ricky

it's awesome! just what I needed right now to help me find chords on my new guitar. the only thing I would suggest is adding an extra 2 strings and another 3 pedals. As it is, it works for E9 as well as C6, so if you just add the 2 extra strings, youll be offering the only competition to guitar map, which doesnt work on a mac...

Stephen, this is really great! I tried to change the stringnames to E9, but everytime when I save the copedent, it changes it to something weird, not the default settings.

Is there a way to save this tool for off-line purpose?

Thanks again

Stephen,What a great piece of work,I know that you must have spent many hours developing this very valuable program and thanks so much for sharing the program with all of us.You should make this available on software and market it on the forum.Thanks again Albert Johnson

Really nice!an impressive piece of work.
One thing i did notice however-you have minor 7 as 1 b3 5 7 it should be 1 b3 5 b7
C minor 7 has a Bb.
hope thats a "minor" repair...I can't imagine putting something like that together-I don't have the brain cells.
Thanks!

excellent! I expect to use it a lot! Thanks!!

OK, Rich, I got that fixed. Thanks for noticing. Also, there's no reason why this can't be used on the E9th tuning -- all you have to do is setup your copedant.

Here's another "minor" bug for you, Stephen: the minor 7-5-9 chord isn't flatting the 5.

Cool program!

Hi Stephen,

Since I play universal I tuned the strings to B6 but could not save this. Apparantly # and b are not saved; the closest diatonic note returns.

If that's the case, it wouldn't work for E9 either!

That's what I said

Sorry, Peter. I didn't realize your "something weird" was the closest diatonic note.
