Do You make full use of your pedals and levers ?

admin · Post by **b0b** » 21 Feb 2008 11:16 am

I gravitate towards different pedals and levers depending on the style of music. For example, I don't raise my E strings very often in swing music, and my F# to G# change rarely gets used when I'm not playing country.

On C6th, I tend to stay on 2 pedals and 3 knee levers even though I have 5+5. I know what the others do, but I just don't seem to need them very often in the kind of music I play.

I have 9 pedals and 9 knee levers. There are nights when I use all of them. Then there are nights when I only use some. Depends on who I am playing with and the songs that are played.

Everything gets quiet 'cause I overcompensate by dropping my heel...

as I am reading the different responses , I am pondering this...

Does a Piano Player or Guitar player play every note on there Instruments ?

To me it's the exact same question.

Interesting question. I have 8+9 on my D-10. Some times I start to think I don't use them often or need them at all. But I easily disprove this thought as soon as I sit down to a guitar that doesn't have my changes. For instance, a "standard" 8+5. Within a minute I find myself reaching for changes that are not there.
