Those are all harmonized major scales in
Winnie Winston's book.

For the other modes, as others have said
here, start at a different point and return
to it.

Bobby Lee,

You moved this here because the instrument being
discussed has no pedals, you say.

I could buy that if you had done the same thing with
the previous discussion, which spanned two pages:

This looks like a _very_ interesting instrument.

It can be heard on the soundtrack to "Help" by
the Beatles.

Kenny Dail,

A pedal cheese slicer?

Rainer Hackstaette & Bob Carlucci,

The pedal steel is simply not a guitar. Not even
close.

It would be much more accurate to call a ukelele or
mandolin or banjo a guitar than it would be to call a
p ...

You know, I should have been using "zither" instead
of "harp", all along here. A harp that's made by
stretching strings _over_ a soundbox is a zither.

This look familiar? It's from the 12th Century. ...

Larry Bell:

Problem is that sayin' it's so don't make it so.

Indeed.

length of the the strings with one's fingers) is no

It's changing the tuning with the bar as well as the
