A m(maj11) — C6 Pedal Steel

A m(maj11) has no bar or slant position on the C6 Pedal Steel with the pedals up.

A m(maj11) stacks A – B – C – D – E – G#, and with every pedal up and every lever at rest no bar position on the C6 Pedal Steel sounds that set: at every fret, and on every short slant, a tone it needs is missing or too few strings carry it.

A pedal steel does not stop there. With Pedal 5 + Pedal 7 engaged, a straight bar at the nut spells it — 2 changes is the fewest it takes, and the copedent page lists every position, 5 in all.
