Sure.....this is in key of G and the pass is going from 2minor to 5/7 so Am to D7.

Am D7
3.________________
4.________________
5._10~~~~~~~~~~~~~
6._10L~~10L(b)~~10
7.________________
8.________________
9._10~~~~~~~~~~~~~

--------------------
Notice you have the 6th string lowered a whole tone; then you keep it lowerd but hit your "b" pedal to raise it a half tone...then let it all off.
Have fun.....oh and when I get back from a week long tour....I have a bunch more...

This is a I-IV or V-I D to G move.

This is a move from D to A7 to D7 with nice stepwise motion

-Tom Brumley does a whole lot a real pretty, smooth stuff with the 6 lower and I'd love for you to show some of that, Ricky. Any time I see Brumley tab it opens up worlds of new ideas for me.

These examples assume all pull guitars are used, right?

Yeah, absolutely, Bob. My 'new' p/p constantly reminds me of how much I've come to rely on this split. I'm having a hard time getting used to not having it. We are talking about the B pedal/F# lower lever yielding the G note. I'm aware that a p/p can be rigged to do splits and I may look into it in the future but my time is not real committed to the Emmons right now.
