Hey Larry,
I also raise my 7th string a whole tone and lower it a half. The 7th string lower is a standard change on a Universal tuning. It's usually on a floor pedal which also raises the 11th string E to F and the 12th string B to C#. With the E's lowered (4 &
it gives you the two7 chord. I don't know where your other levers are but if you can lower your 9th string to C# try this. Go to the 8th fret with the E's lowered for a G chord, release the E lowers for your C (IV) chord with the 9th string at D, back up one fret and use the lower on your 7th string for the 5 change with your 9th string still at D and then slide back to the 8th fret with your E's lowered. You'll hear the C6th sounds of this move. Have a good 'un..JH
