Progressions in Bb — Lap Steel

Every chord the key of Bb owns, placed on the lap steel's six strings in C6.

Bb major harmonises to Bb – Cm – Dm – Eb – F – Gm – A°; Bb minor to Bbm – C° – Db – Ebm – Fm – Gb – Ab. Each chord links to its Lap Steel page, so a key becomes a short list of places for the bar.

On a lap steel the chords of a key are fret distances: the tuning spells one chord open, and every other chord in the key is somewhere the bar can slide to — or a slant, or not there at all.
