Thanks, Forest

Forest, Paul has a teaching course on uses for this pedal!

The change you described is not the full Franklin pedal. To have the full or complete Franklin pedal you have to also lower the sixth string a full step (from G# to F#). Paul Franklin lowers all three strings (5,6, & 10) a full step on one pedal. Many players, however, split this into two pedals (or levers). The change you described is useful and somewhat common, but it is only part of a split Franklin pedal.

Could anyone name a few slow ballad recordings that are prime examples of how Paul used this change? That might help the uninformed. Thanks

A good example is
You Are the Love of my Life- by Sammy Kershaw
Tab is on Rebel's site in the 1997 section:

I use it on the fills in the chorus of Keeper of the Stars. Slow tune & you can hear it real well. At least that's what I hear & what I do. Very effective/pretty.

Hello Forest,

I'm a little to late for this reaction but maybe it helps you out a little bit. Paul use his PF-lever also in combination with the E-lower knee lever.
a Little example is a lick in F:

4&5 string on 15 fret with A-pedal down, slide to 13 fret, the E-lower knee lever in, Let A-pedal lose, them comes your B-lower(Franklin Pedal) in, then let the B-lower(Franklin Pedal)comming up, at the same time you push the A-pedal one more time down and up.

Sorry, I haven't a Tab for it. But I hope I help you out. You can use this in several solo's or intro's

Sincerely,

Marcel

Correction:

4&5 string on 15 fret with A-pedal down, slide to 13 fret, the E-lower knee lever in, Let A-pedal lose, them comes your B-lower(Franklin Pedal) in, then let the B-lower(Franklin Pedal)comming up, at the same time you push the A-pedal one more time down and also at the same time bring your E-Lower back and let your A-pedal comming up.
