E on the Fiddle

All 62 qualities on the root E, in 10 families, drawn for this chair. Most country songs use three or four of them; the rest are here for the turnaround that reaches further.

The fiddle chair carries pads under the verse and the turnaround answer between vocal lines. A chord on a bowed instrument is really a choice of double stops — two strings at a time, drawn from these tones — plus the arpeggio the bow can walk through the rest of them.
