G on the E9 Pedal Steel, Every Scale

Every scale type this site maps, rooted on G and laid onto this chair. Country leans hard on three of them — major, the major pentatonic inside it, and the blues scale that bends the rest — and the other 21 are here for the song that needs one.

A pedal steel fill is a line the bar and the pedals share: the bar comes to rest on a fret, and a pedal or lever raises a ringing string into the next note of the line, so a scale here marks the resting places and the notes a bend can reach from them.
