F Spanish — C6 Pedal Steel
Every note of F Spanish as a bar position on the C6 neck's ten strings, pedals up — the root ringed each time it recurs, and a button that plays the run.
F Spanish is 7 notes to the octave (world family), drawn here across the C6 neck's ten strings with every F marked, so home stays visible from anywhere in the pattern.
Fiery and exotic — the b2 presses against the root while the major 3rd keeps it from sounding plainly minor. Flamenco heat with a Middle-Eastern edge: dramatic, urgent, and passionate.
Heard in: Flamenco and Spanish classical guitar, klezmer and "Hava Nagila", Arabic and Jewish liturgical music, metal riffs, and the V chord of harmonic minor.
On a pedal steel a scale is mostly played with the bar moving, one or two notes at a time, and the pedals supply the notes a bar position lacks. These maps show the neck with the pedals up, so what they light is the ground every pedal move starts from.
Work it in one position before you work it up the neck. A bar that lands a hair short of the marker sounds flat on every string it covers, and the ear hears that long before the run is fast.
