Chris,
I am sorry -- did I miss an earlier request? I did receive your email yesterday afternoon. I sent the charts off my email this morning. My sincerest apologies if your first request got lost in my inbox.

I hope you enjoy the chart. All the best with your steel!
Patricia

[Patricia Warnock]

Chris,
I just found this request from Feb 22nd. I originally sent the chart files on February 24th. I guess technology just didn't work in our favour this time.

I sent the files again this morning. Please let me know if you don't get the files.
Patricia

Thanks a million!

[Fred Rogan]

Patricia
I would love to have a copy and I bet it has improved since you first posted this.
thank you

[Patricia Warnock]

Hey, guys -- I've been travelling since May 8th so I want to apologize if it's taken a few days to respond to your messages. I think I've got to everyone but please send another message if I missed you.

Fred - do I have your email address? I haven't made any changes since the first post but I am happy to send it anyway.

I am working on some new charts but with starting my own consulting company I haven't had much time to get them finished. I will keep the forum posted on any new material I put together. You have all been so good to me...I am eternally thankful.

Anyway, I am in Texas for a few more days. Please keep the requests coming and I'll get to them just as soon as I can.

Thanks,
Patricia

Thanks,

[Roy Westley]

yes please Patricia

[Tom OHara]

Now who has something like this for the E9/B6 universal tuning?

[Sherman Willden]

Tom;

Patricia's work performs well with bouncing back and forth between the 9th and 6th style tuning. Perform a search for Chords on this site. You will have to translate the C6th chords to the B6 12-string tuning. Also search the old site for Quick Start Guide and you will find one for the E9/B6 tuning. One problem I have found when translating the C6 to B6 12-string is I am missing the A to B change which is normally on pedal 4.

[Brad Weeks]

I would love to have one. TYVM, Brad....GOOD WORK!!!

[Patricia Warnock]

Update: 31 May 2010 - Since I originally posted my E9th Chord Chart and Tip Sheet I have received over 35,000 hits and individually emailed the chart to over 900 new friends. I am eternally grateful for the blessing this has brought to my life and overwhelmed by the encouragement and support I have received from my forum friends. I sincerely enjoy hearing from each and every one of you and will personally email it as long as it is requested. I'll miss your messages.

Recently I started my own marketing & communications company; and, have since posted the worksheet size copy of the chart to my website. You now have immediate access to the chart through the link below. (Please feel free to surf my site while you're there -- and pass the link onto anyone you know who may be interested). However, if anyone would like the poster size copy of the chart file please do not hesitate to contact me by email. It is still posted to the wall opposite my steel almost a year and a half later. I am happy to share. I wish you all the best! - Patricia

Patricia Warnock....you are AWESOME!.....Good luck on your new company...You do great work and i KNOW you will succeed!!!

[James Barefoot]

Would love to have the chart. How do I get it to the store to print it off. Do I use on of the the " thumb drives" (Obviosly I'm not very computer savvy"
the chart looks great and I sure need the help. Thanks Jimmy

[Patricia Warnock]

Hi, Jimmy
You can save the .pdf file to the thumb drive or burn it to CD and take it to a print shop like kinkos or staples. Most of these shops now have the option to email the file or upload it to their website. They print it and you pick it up later. I'm sure if you give a call to the closest they will be happy to walk you through it.

If you have any problems getting this printed...email me. I'll help you out.
Patricia

[Diego Sciocchetti]

Hi Patricia....is there one chart more for me?
Thanks a lot!!!!!!

[Joey Aguilera]

Hey Guys,

First of all, Patricia thank you so much for sharing this!

I was wondering if somebody could explain to me how to use the tips on the right primarily the patterns. I am a little confused, I think I almost got it but then I lose it. I need help =) Thanks.

[Patricia Warnock]

Joey,

Here is how the tips work in the right hand column, let's use the "Major Chords Pattern" with the G Chord as an example:

Open Fret + 3 = AF

"Open Fret" - This is any position where you could play a major chord with no pedals or levers. The G Chord is played on Fret 3 Open.

If you move up 3 Frets (+3) from Fret 3 to Fret 6 and depress the A pedal combined with engaging the F Lever (=AF) you will get the G Chord again.

Note: These patterns apply to the major string groupings only. (3-4-5- / 4-5-6- / 5-6-8 / 6-8-10)

The second tip is:

AF + 2 = E Lever

So, now we have a G Major Chord on Fret 6 using the A Pedal and F Lever. If you move up 2 Frets (+2) to Fret 8, release the A Pedal and F Lever, and engage only the E Lever you will have the Em chord. How does this fit in?


Under the Major Chord Patterns section the second tip: AF + 2 = E Lever actually takes you from the Major Chord to it's Relative Minor. Still a Major Chord Pattern but not Major Chord to Same Major Chord. It's the Major Chord to its Relative Minor Chord.

For example:
1AF (D Major) + 2 frets & E Lever = 3E (B Minor)
3E (B Minor) + 2 frets & AB Pedals = 5AB (D Major)

Following that then, the third tip: E Lever + 2 = AB takes you from that same Relative Minor back to the Major Chord. So, using our example of G Major, at Fret 8 with the E Lever engaged we now have the Em - G Majors Relative Minor.

Moving up 2 (E Lever + 2) takes us from Fret 8 to Fret 10, where when you release the E Lever and engage both the A and B Pedals (= AB) you return to the G Major Chord.

These are how the patterns on the tip sheet work. If you have any more questions regarding the chart I'm happy to answer.

I do apologize for the delay. I've been dealing with a few family issues the last couple of months - which have been monopolizing my time. I haven't been on the forum much, and even worse - my poor steel has been neglected. I am always happy to share any of my learning experience with the steel.

All the best,
Patricia

Hey Joey,

Since you're local, if you need any kind of help with Patricia's great chart or the context for it all, give me a shout. Teaching pedal steel is what I do, I'm in San Pedro, Calif.

(BTW, your www link took me to a site with a landing page but no links to anything else, other than VoodooGarden, which finally led to "page not found").

For those of you who aren't in Southern California: I'm available to help you with E9 via Skype videoconferencing (a webcam and free software). Just click my "www" link down below for info about me, my curriculum, and specifics of how Skype works (it works great!).

Patricia's chart is a very handy reference, and I can further expand your "mental map" of the E9 neck and how to coax good music out of it.
