C6 minor chords

Postby henry » Mon Oct 08, 2012 6:10 pm

C6 players, where do I find more minor chords? (this is C6 pedal rather than lap steel)

I know open is Am7.

There's also one using pedal 7.. are there any more well used ones I should know about?

(In fact any C6 beginners advice would be greatly appreciated 8-) )

since you mention P7 Henry, you'll find an Am at fret 5 w: P7 or w: just the lever that lowers string 3 a half step
an Am chord is also a C6 & a Fmaj 7 right ?
sooooooo, you'll find another Am at fret 9 if you lower string 2 & 6 a half tone or w: P6 ( not all the notes work tho' ( try P7 w: 6 & release 7
another Am at fret 9 w: P6 & the lever that raises strings 4 & 8 a half step
a minor postion can always be found at the Minor third position : 3 frets above the root position
like fret 3 w: P5 & lever that raises string 3 a half tone ( Am / C6 / Fmaj7 )
(as well as on the Dominant 7th position ( 1 whole step below the major position)
don't ya' just love C6 ?
i do !

cheers Crowbear, I reckon that will keep me going for a while!

I don't love C6 yet, it makes my head hurt
