G# add9 Chord on Lap Steel
No straight-bar or slant shape spells G# add9 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 G# add9 on the lap steel in C6 tuning (C-E-G-A-C-E). The chord is built from G#, A#, B#, D#, 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 G# add9 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).
