D# 9 Chord on Lap Steel
No straight-bar or slant shape spells D# 9 on the lap steel in C6 tuning (C-E-G-A-C-E). No other tuning preset has one either.
No straight-bar or slant shape spells D# 9 on the lap steel in C6 tuning (C-E-G-A-C-E). The chord is built from D#, E#, F##, A#, C#, 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.
None of the other lap steel tuning presets spells D# 9 with a bar or slant either.
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).
