If you had to choose one eight string jazz tuning for lap steel in E, what would you pick that would best accommodate ii/V/Is, and altered dominants.

Here is a quick diagram I just drew up listing some of the possibilities:

This is a great way to graph a tuning; I haven’t seen it before. It makes perfect sense and gives a visual playing perspective for alterations and substitutions. It does cover the dominants well and also throws a nice minor placement to the mix
Thanks,

This is the way I usually diagram my tunings when I am trying to come up with something new. I look for all the same qualities (min7, Maj7, dom7, and then some).
I forgot to mention the half-dim chord on strings 5-8

A ten string version of that tuning has been used to great effect by Tom Morrell in case you want to hear some examples.

As someone who's not used to visualizing the fretboard in straight lines or chordally like that (6 string/bass player) I would love to see other tunings layed out like that. |
