Fretboard map
Park the bar on any fret and see every chord that lives there — every pedal and lever combination, movable grips, and the key you're in. The neck stops being a mystery.
For pedal steel players
Every pedal. Every lever. Every voicing.
Pedal Steel Atlas is a chord finder and notation system built for the instrument — every playable voicing across pedals and knee levers, tab editing with playback, and voice-leading progressions.
The instrument, mapped
Built around how a pedal steel actually works
Notation & tab editor
Write pedal steel tab with string, fret, pedal, and lever markers over real standard notation. Hear it back with playback, inspect any beat, and print or share clean charts.
Voice-leading progressions
Type a progression — C Am Dm G, or Roman numerals — and get playable paths across the neck: which fret, which grip, which pedal moves, with holds and smears worked out.
