Topic: Major, Minor & 7th Scales on E9 - Free Charts |

I am offering charts of major, minor & dominant 7th scales, free of charge.
The best way I know how to get them to you is by attaching a “word document” into an email.
These charts are based solely on the E9 neck, and only use the 3 standard foot pedals.
You will not need to engage any knee levers to play anything on these charts.
You do not need to be able to read pedal steel guitar tablature, or standard music notation formats, to understand these charts.
These are written with my own alternative way of indicating which strings, frets, and pedals to use. I believe this method should be easy to read and understand, but of course, your mileage may vary. I am not suggesting that anyone abandon learning to read music in the traditional ways.
Hopefully, you’ll feel these charts are a good reference of where to find some of the different scales up and down the E9 neck.
In addition to beginners or possibly intermediates, if any teachers feel that their students might benefit from any of this, you’re welcome to use any of the material as you wish.
Here’s what the 6 pages contain:
Introduction and explanation page;
Major scale of “G” in harmony on 4th & 6th strings and 3rd & 5th strings;
Dominant scale of “G7” in harmony on 4th & 6th strings and 3rd & 5th strings;
Major and Dominant scale of “C & C7” in harmony on 3rd & 5th strings;
Major scale of “A” in close harmony;
Minor scale “Am” in close harmony;
Major scale of “D” in harmony on 6th & 5th strings;
Dominant scale “D7” in harmony on 6th & 5th strings;
Minor scale “Dm” in harmony on 6th & 5th strings;
“D” rock & roll minor 7th scale;
“D” blues lick;
Plus other misc. scales, and licks, etc.
If you feel you might benefit by seeing these different scales and riffs written out, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Usually you get what you pay for, but in this case I hope it’s more!
The scales are pretty straight forward. I realize that it’s difficult to grasp the phrasing, and understand how the licks should sound and be played without hearing a demonstration, but hopefully, you’ll be able to get something out of them.

(The possession of these charts does not replace the need for having a hands-on instructor, and they do not take the place of any of the great instructional material available on various formats.
They are simply a reference guide of where to find some different scales on the neck of your pedal steel guitar. Additionally, knowing where they are and how to play them is just part of the equation. You’ll probably find that you need to know how to mix and match all of this information, and more, to apply it in the context of a song or with a band, in order to make it sound like music that’s enjoyable to be heard.)

Marc, I knew most of the major scales, but the minor scales really helped me out. I always get kinda hung up when playing over minor chords. Thanks a bunch!

Marc,
Your charts are leading me in interesting directions.........I'm having a ball with these. The 7th scales are a blast. I like incorporating them in passages to the 4 or resolving to the root.
This is great stuff........thanks a lot! |
