I've got my lamp steel here tuned up to a G6 tuning.
[G]
It has a real nice sound to it.
[B]
[Am] Perfect for playing Hawaiian music.
[F] [G]
I'm going to show you first that there are two ways of playing a C major scale.
Since it's tuned to a G, this would be G sharp, A, B flat, [C] B, C here on the fifth fret.
We have a C6 chord.
I'm going to start on the third string and I'm going to play this note, move up two,
come back to the fifth fret, go up one, come back to the fifth fret, go up two.
[D]
[F] [Am] Then up two [Bm] more and [C] one more.
So it's two, [D]
[E] one, [F] [G] two,
[Am] two, [Em] and one.
[C] [E] That's one way of playing the C scale.
But you can also play it by dropping down.
So I'm going to start again on the same note.
This is a G string so up here [D#] becomes a C [C] note.
I'm going to go down two.
[D] That's on the second string.
[E]
Up two, [F]
down two, [G] up two, [Am] up two, [G] up two, [C] one.
One,
[G]
[N]
up two, or down two, up, down two, up, up two, up two, and up one.
That's your C scale.
This is a portable scale.
You can do the same thing in D, in E, in F, in G [A] up here at this end of the steel guitar,
or down here at A, [C#] [C#m] [F#] or [C#m] [Am] playing it below the A line.
[Bm] [C#] [D]
