It's something you learn with practice and experience, Craig. It isn't as hard as it sounds.Craig Baker wrote:b0b,
That's probably true, and there's no doubt it's true on a non pedal E9th or C6th guitar. However, I've always believed that no two things can occupy the same place at the same time. . . including the human brain. If I am playing a song that calls for knee levers, and your four knee levers are completely different than my four knee levers, for this beginner. . . it's a challenge.
Respectfully,

Most pedal steels have the pretty close to the same knee levers - only the position of them is different. I've never encountered another E9 with four levers that are "completely different" from mine. Usually 2 or 3 of them have the same changes. It's not hard to adjust to different physical positions as long as the changes are the same.
