No straight-bar or slant shape spells B m(maj7) on the lap steel in C6 tuning (C-E-G-A-C-E). The chord is built from B, D, F#, A#, but a steel bar can only sound what the open strings become under it: at every fret, and on every short slant the lap steel allows, the strings that land on this chord's tones leave out a tone it needs, or too few of them ring.

The E13 tuning (B-D-E-G#-C#-E) has one: Slant 8–6, strings 5–3.

So this page charts nothing rather than a hand-fretted grip no steel can hold. The lap steel chord pages that do chart shapes list only straight bars and short declared slants in C6 tuning (C-E-G-A-C-E).
