Could someone help me? I can raise my first string and have a unison with G# or 3rd. string. What is another good unison i could use?I need to tap in to some of the vast knowledge on the forum. THANKS in advance
Donald.

Common one is lower the 2nd string to C#, then pedal the 5th string from B to C# for a unison.

Also, C pedal 5th string from E to F#, in usinson with open 1st string F#.

If you lower 6 to F#, unison with the 7th str F#.

If you lower 9 to C#, pedal the 10th string from B to C#.

Lower 4 to D#, unison with open 2nd string.

Very cool. You can also raise string 2 to E for a unison with string 4. This works nice with the string 1 raise to G#.

try this:
[tab]
F# 10~RR~10
D#
G# 10~~~~~~~~~
E 10...(continue with some lick)
B
G#
F#
E
D
B
[/tab][/code]

I've got a bunch of these tabbed out on my web site. At 0:14 seconds in to the one below, you can hear the 2nd string raised in unison to the 4th string.

Hear It!

Thanks a lot guys i knew i could open up something on that here. Have a gig in longview sat. but that gives a lot of ideas. Two heads are better than one and im going to work on some of them next week.
Thanks &
God Bless

A nice one is the fourth string raised a tone (with the C pedal) and the first string.
Play both strings together, let the first string ring whilst releasing the C pedal, then activating the E lever.
Listen HERE at 2:23 to 2:26 miutes in

Raise the second to E -- I like that one as it gets you out of the Lloyd Green V7 and back to a major E and if you have it on the first string raise to G# you get a nice hoakey ending up on top with a whole bunch of strings you can rake.
