Chord Positions — C6 Pedal Steel

The C6 Pedal Steel chord reference: pick a root, then any of 62 qualities, and every bar position the C6 neck's ten strings holds for it arrives charted, with the strings to pick and audio.

These charts are the C6 neck with every pedal up and every knee lever at rest — G-E-C-A-G-E-C-A-F-C from string 1 inward. The bar lies straight across all ten strings and the picks choose which of them speak; a string whose note is not in the chord stays silent.

That is only the starting point on a pedal steel. Each pedal and lever retunes a few strings while it is held, so the same bar position spells a different chord with a foot or a knee engaged. The copedent page for this neck works out every combination, and where any chord sits with them.
