Beginners question?

I seem to be doing OK with melody's but am really confused about chords using C6 tuning. In Scotty’s Basic C6 non pedal book it shows for example the C chords as being like this:
Tab:

E--------------------12---0--------8-----12
C---0---4---7---12---12---0---7------------
A-------3---7-----------------7----7-------
G---0-----------12-----------------------12
E---0-----------12-------------------------
C------------------------------------------

These are noted as harmonized chords?


On this web site:
http://www.looknohands.com/chordhouse/guitar/index_rb.html
it shows the c chords as this:
Tab:

E---0---3---------------8-----------12
C---0-------4-------7---------------12
A-------3-----------7-----------10----
G---0-----------5-----------9-------12
E---0---3---------------8-----------12
C---0-------4-------7---------------12

The same holds true for other chords too. The web site doesn’t match what is in the book?

I hope the spacing is OK.

Thanks for any help

I’m really confused? What am I missing?

They "match up" ... look closer ...

Scotty's book realizes that a non-pedal steel guitar requires slanting ...

Hence this forward slant ...

-4-
-3-

That same combination is written on the "No Hands" site ... it's just not separated into a distinct unit.

Same with this forward slant ...

-8-
---
-7-

As for what they are ... they are "pieces" of the chord ... i.e double stops ...

EX:
Tab:

-4-   E
-3-   C

and...

-7-  G
-7-  E

and ...

-8-  C
---
-7-  E


The "No Hands" site "spits out" the position of every note in the major triad ... C E G ... very helpful.

Scotty's book is "gearing you up" for the most often "used" chord pieces ... also very helpful.

Hope that helps ...
