Post by Ron ! »

Does anybody know what this means and what it does.I have seen some articles on Bobbe's site but there is no explanation on what it does and how it works.Maybe one of you can help me out.

Ronald-I have made a belated reply to that old post. I hope I have been able to throw some light on what Bobbe's Z lever is doing , chord wise.

we have been using the 2nd string D# to D and the 9th string D ot C# on a lever.But where Bobbe has shown us, by raising the 7th string F# to G#, it gives a full E6 ..see the old post...al Image

Ronald, Z-knee is a pretty cool concept. Get the video from Steel Guitar Nashville. Te Koop.
