D# maj11 — C6 Pedal Steel

D# maj11 stacks D# – E# – F## – G# – A# – C##, 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 7 engaged, a straight bar at fret 3 spells it — one change is the fewest it takes, and the copedent page lists every position, 6 in all.
