Hi to all.
I am just about finished my home built lap steel (22 1/2) and I am going to tune to open A major A,C#,E,A,C#,E. A fret board map would useful to have but I'm unsure how to go about it. I'm not too knowledgable when it comes to the tech side of music.I have learnt thet the following fret positions give the corresponding chords;
Open A,1-Bb,2-B,3-C,4-Db,5-D,6-Eb,7-E. I am aware that some chords don't use all strings.
Hope you can help,
Regards
Howard

This is what I use: http://www.studybass.com/tools/chord-scale-note-printer/

You just enter your tuning under the Customize tab and you can put in whatever chord or scale you want.

Hey.......thanks for posting that. Never seen it before and it looks like something we newer folks could benefit from.
I need all the help I can get. Mr. Green
