Bill, it strikes me that you might be referring to the counterpoint lick using the second string raising a half step at a time as the 5th string is descending in half steps in conjunction with the second string steps. Could that be what you are referring too? I could help you if that is it or a number of other guys could also.

| I think that, at one time, Jimmy Day raised his 5th string to D. |

There was a trend about 20 yrs ago, where a knee lever raised the 5th string a tone and a half. And this would match one of the descriptions you sighted I believe; if they used it in comination with the A pedal.
Also, I seem to recall maybe Pete Drake had that change on his PSG for given licks. Not sure. At any rate it never caught on because I have rarely seen it since. |

| Jerry I have that change on now have had for years. B0b I think you hit the nail square on the head. If I remember right the A pedal raised it to the C# and a knee lever took it to the D ok Thanks for the help maybe I can learn to play something now |
