This review is from: Mel Bay Pedal Steel Guitar Chord Chart (Misc. Supplies)

This chart has many different chords (some of them are listed twice) but it is different than my Pedal Steel is actually set up... So, It helps for the pedals, but the knee levers were different.

Good referrence for learning a few chords for me, but I need a different one I think.

Publication received in good order & condition; thank you. Postage costs too high, though; could have been disptatched in an envelope, rather than the carton it came in...
