Progressions in Eb — E9 Pedal Steel

Eb major harmonises to Eb – Fm – Gm – Ab – Bb – Cm – D°; D# minor to D#m – E#° – F# – G#m – A#m – B – C#. Each chord links to its E9 Pedal Steel page, so a key becomes a short list of places for the bar.

On a pedal steel the chords of a key are rarely far apart: the bar stays put wherever it can while a pedal or knee lever turns one chord into the next. Under each workhorse progression every change is drawn that way — the bar position, which pedals and levers go down or come up, both charts, and a Hear button that bends the ringing strings into the next chord.
