Try to raise 6th string G# to B and 9th D to D# Smile

Good luck!

If you can't do the whole tone lower, do the 1/2 tone lower.

howdy, i have half tone lower on 5-10, but not sure how to use it, being a relative newby, i thought a whole tone was required for usage, lew.

The half-tone lower of the B strings is the most common use of the vertical knee lever. It changes your I chord to a II7 chord. For example, it gives you a D7 at the C fret (8th fret). The 7th string becomes the root of the chord.

There are a lot of other uses for it, but that's the main one.
