5 different movable shapes, full R-m3-5 minor triads, using a combination of open strings, slants and pulls.

Thanks Steve. Really nice. Just this week I was working on minors in open D — great timing, and love the pinky-pull mini tuning adjustment on slants.

When I grow up, I want my pinky finger to be as strong as yours.

Something about the chaos of combining slants & pulls makes it really special when you nail the intonation.

Haha...you'll need that extra strength to keep all of the lap steel groupies at bay.

Great stuff Steve. Thanks for posting that. I hope that when I grow up I’ll finally nail some of it—but at 67 years old I’m kinda running out of time to grow up. 🫤

Growing up and learning minor chords are two entirely different things...thank God, cause I don't know many steelers who've fully grown up Wink
