The most common E9th gauges in use today are. Generally speaking, a shorter scale will take a slightly heavier string than a long scale. Most pedal steels have a scale length in the range of 24 to 24.5, though a few are 25 or longer.
Back then I never understood the need, but memorized them anyway. Although I learned them, he never told me why it was important other than being able to recite them when needed. But to chide you a bit if you committed all of them to memory as I have pressed you, you wouldn’t need that system for what I’ll be providing here.When I was 10 years old, my steel teacher gave me the assignment to learn all the major triads of the primary scales: A, B, C, D, E, F and G.
Being able to rattle them off is quite confidence-boosting and makes you believe you can conquer the musical world, not just that goofy looking “electric ironing board” that you play. Now that you are also studying chords, knowing the triad tones of all the major scales would permit you to quickly identify or construct nearly all the other chords within any scale, not just the primary ones that I learned. However, it was an eye-opener when I got serious about studying chord construction, realizing that memorizing them really helped me.
1: Lowering the 3 rd tone a semitone creates a minor triad (chord), i.e. I’ll number them so my accompanying explanations will relate. Here are some quick facts about altering the 3 rds and 5 ths. However, remember that the pattern applies to every major triad of every scale or chord. Now, back to the “Remarkable 3 rds and 5 ths.”I’ll continue to use the E scale as the example. That is because all chords are built from those basic 3-tone chord triads.
B raised to C = E, C, and G# Augmented triad. 4: Raising the 5 th tone a semitone creates an Augmented triad (chord), i.e. G# raised to A = A7 th chord triad. 3: Raising the 3 rd tone a semitone creates a b7 th triad (chord), i.e. B lowered to A# = F#9 th triad. 2: Lowering the 5 th tone a semitone creates a 9 th triad (chord), i.e.
Give a listen to it in the opening bars of his composition, “Railroadin’”.Here are the two chords. “Whoa”, some will protest, “Thar ain’t no A note in dat triad.” And I reply, “’Great Balls of Fire’ I know that.” But for this chord, dang it, you’ve got to continue thinking “Speedy West”! These three notes are part of the “root-less” 9 th chord that he created one of his favorites for his signature “crash-bar” technique. When making the common progression from an E chord to an A chord (NNS’s 1 to 4 progression), Speedy obviously thought, “That chord sounds more like an A chord than an E minor chord”.
The closest duplication is achieved by using the 6 th tone available in an E6 th chord, that being C#. I could reveal his complete copedent, but it isn’t necessary to duplicate the sound of his “rootless 9 th“chord, and you will have to do it with your own pedals and one knee lever anyway. Keep reading it gets crazier.Speedy’s tuning was an F#9 th, but configured quite differently from today’s E9 th. But then, who needs it if you like the sound you get, right? You don’t! Speedy certainly didn’t and he liked it so much that he embellished it by including at least one extra tone for his crash-bar licks. The E-minor chord fits quite nicely in an A9 th chord even though the tonic tone (A) is missing. They simply assume different scale-tone positions because they are in different scales.
Isn’t it enough to drive a crazy steel player sane?Interestingly, the result of lowering the 5 th tone of a major triad constructs yet another 9 th chord, but with an interesting twist. If the 6 th tone were added (as in the first line above), it nicely becomes the 3 rd tone in this rootless A9 th chord (as in the third line above). Regardless, check out the chord below:To recap: when the 3 rd tone of a major triad is lowered by a semitone, you can call it a 7 th chord of another chord, in this example, it is changed to NNS’s 4 chord (as shown above), if you were wanting to transition from the E chord to the A chord of a song. It certainly didn’t sound like it. Maybe he didn’t have a rooted tonic tone in his crash-bar licks. Again, the root tone of A is absent, but everything else for Speedy’s crash-bar chord is there.
The E Major 6 th chord lost its 5 th tone. In the E major triad (E, G# and B, with the added 6 th tone) as shown in the next illustration, the notes necessary for building an F#9 th chord are present in both chords. But then, you may not need it depending on the sound you want to voice. “What?” you ask, “How did that happen? “Patience, my chord-loving friend.” Again, this creation has all of the tones you need for that 9 th chord, but not its root tone. If you remained at the seventh fret and simply engaged your D lever (lowering the fourth and eighth strings a half tone, you will have created an F#9 th chord.
Wrong! You’re also creating something much different and perhaps even better: The result:Notice that the resultant chord contains nearly all the tones in the E6 th, but you lost its B note, but gained the A# note. The scale tones are:Perhaps the tune you’re backing up requires you to progress to the F# chord, so you engage your D lever thinking that you’ll only create an E Major 6 th chord, but with a flatted 5 th tone. Your chord is an E6 th on all but the 2 nd and 9 th strings. You might sit at your guitar and do what I’ll describe:You’re barring at the seventh fret with pedals A and B engaged. Follow along by reading each numbered line below, and then examine the notes of the chords created. In this case you can still call it an F#9 th chord.
Here is a wonderful one that I ask you to follow by reading it first, then duplicating it at your guitar. A Dynamite Transition: There are many useful ways to employ this newly found chord. Is this wild or what? You have the chord that is actually 2 frets above where you’re playing, and to get it you didn’t have to move your tone bar or even pick any strings.
You then remember reading this paper and recall the fancier passing chord this demanding writer forced you to learn. Before making the transition back to A, you consider several ways to do it. You’re going to soon return to your key chord of A. You end at the seventh fret with your A and B pedals depressed (you are in the E chord or the 5-chord position of the NNS.
