Thanks Crowbar, This is very interesting to me. I went to his website and found out what his levers did, but I still have to study his pedal 4 to see what it does. Some players have the boo wah pedal in the eight position and others have it in the fourth position. It should be fun to study it anyways. Again, thanks for the info. Larry

So that chord cart is all for a "C" chord right?, Cmaj, Cmin Cmaj7 etc? Also is there a copedant for that anywhere?

Wow, I put that chart up many years ago. I see the web host never updated it or removed it. It used the standard Emmons C6 setup with knee lever F, lowering the 3rd string 1/2, and knee lever G, raising the 4th string 1/2 step.
There are several typos and many insertions I added after this original draft. Unfortunately, the revised copy is on an old computer which no longer works.

Directions:

Any 0 position is open position,or no pedals engaged and the bar at the .
+ means fret positions above the open position in any key
- means fret position below the open position in any key

The 0 means you are at any fret without pedals/ knees engaged (open position)If you , for example, were at the 12th fret with the bar down and no pedals/knees engaged you would be in the key of C. If you were to move back 1fret (-1) to the 11th fret that would be a -1. Moving back 5 frets would be a -5.
If you moved forward to the 13th fret that would be +1. If you moved to the 14th fret it would be +2 from the c position.
O is just any key you need and the - and + are just negative and positive deviations of the tonic key. This shows where else the chord can be found on the neck using different string grips/pedals/knees.

By the way, the Diminished chord should read (every 3 frets, +3) not every four and also the first Dom.7b9 chord should read -2.

I bought Jernigan's chord chart. But I'm really not ready to try a copedent like the one he has. It is as complicated as Paul Franklin's. Being a beginner, I'm starting with something simple and building it up as I see the need.

... knee lever G, raising the 4th string a whole step.
Trap, is that right? Lever "G" raises the 4th string a whole step, rather than a half step? Your chart shows the DOM 7 at 0 fret using the G lever and strings 7,5,6 [major triad: I, III, V] and 4,3,2 which will play a VII, I, III, respectively. Overall, that's a MAJ 7.

Should the "G" lever be a half-step raise, or is my feeble mind getting the better of me again? (This is entirely possible - I'm C6th "hacker", at best.) :\

Keep on pickin'!

Glenn,
you're right. That change is supposed to be a 1/2 tone on the 4th string.I can't remember if I also had the 8th string pulling a 1/2 tone also along with the 4th. My set up has changed so much since then. Sorry,

Check out the Neil Flanz book. It has been a big help to me.

I apologize for what is almost certainly going to be one of the most ignorant questions seen on the forum to date. But what is the C6 Nashville Setup?
