F# Scales — Dobro

Pick a type — each one is mapped for this chair with the roots flagged.

Every scale type this site maps, rooted on F# and laid onto this chair. Bluegrass 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 because the tune that needs one will get called eventually.

A dobro break is slid, not fretted: the bar travels to each note, so a scale here is a list of places the bar may stop on the way — and on open-G strings, the stops that ring against an open string are the ones the melody keeps coming back to.
