Pedal Steel Copedent / Fretboard Analysis and Training

Pedal Steel is a pedal steel fretboard analysis tool. First create custom copedents to match your pedal steel guitar. Then use the analysis tools and training tools to gain insight into the fretboard.

The Analysis tool allows you to select a key, fret and active changers. You can then view and hear all of the basic chord voicings for the selected key. The analysis diagram is interactive allowing you to turn changers on and off to quickly see the effect of each changer.

The Chord Finder tool allows you to select a key, a root note and a chord type and gives you a list of chord voicing options for how the chord can be played. Click a chord voicing option to view and hear the chord voicing.

The Copedent tool allows you to view a copedent diagram. You can also edit your changes directly from the diagram.

Images can be saved to the gallery for future reference.

The training tools include Copedent Basics, Identify Note, Identify Interval and Identify Audio Interval. These tools can help you learn your fretboard.

The training tools include options to let you target specific areas. You can exclude strings, frets and changers. For example, a beginner that wants to learn the open string notes would exclude all frets except 0 and exclude all changers. Once the beginner knows all of the open strings they can include some changers and learn which changers change which strings and by how much.
