Hi Fred, I use my left knee vertical to lower the
B's to Bb, and also use it with A and B pedals to hit a 4 minor. Don't think I've seen you since Lexington, Ky. Larry
That was a few years ago though

I drop Bs to A#. I use it in conjunction with the A pedal, the 2nd string drop lever, the 6th string drop and occasionally the AB pedal combo.

On E9. F#'s to G. I often use it with the A & B pedals.
On C6. Raise string 4 to Bb and string 3 to D. Use it sometimes with the 6th pedal.

Hi Fred,
Long time no see. You need to come up to Terry's Woods show in Conway sometime. Like Larry and Lane mine lowers my B's to Bb. I don't use it with the pedals much because it seems to be an uncomfortable stretch. I getting so old my stretcher's about wore out.

I drop string 9 D to C# and string 10 B to A. When gripping strings 8, 9 and 10 it gives you a resolve from a 7th to a major. Works pretty nice ending a slow song. I would probably use it to drop my B's to Bb if I didn't already have it someplace else.

| Lowers B's to Bb (A#). Used by itself to change suspended to dominant 7. Mostly used with AB for minor, AB+E lower for diminished, A for augmented. |

B>A#
--- 7/9 chord two frets down from open
--- minor chord w/ AB down
--- minor 6 w/ AB down + string 7 (as opposed to minor 7 chord one fret up, open, E lowered)
--- dim 7 w/ AB down and E lower
--- C note w/ A pedal in melodic line
I use this lever a lot and keep it adjusted just a hair off of my leg with a short throw. |
