if i am in the key of G, I can play I-IV-V or even I-VI-II-V all on the 3rd and 5th fret. Where would be the typical place to go for a D7 chord? 1st fret with F lever?

Typically you would play the D7 at the 3rd fret with the B pedal and the knee lever that lowers your E's engaged.

I like the 3rd fret with B pedal and D knee lever for a D7 in that situation. Take your pedals down position for the D (5AB) and slide back two frets to 3BD. That D7 position also resolves nicely to the no pedals position for G on the 3rd fret.

If you lower your 6th string G#, and do it on a different leg than your E lowers, you can get a regular D chord on the 3rd fret by engaging both lowers and using 8-6-5 or several other grips that do not involve string 3.

Yup - 3rd fret B-pedal plus E=>Eb lever is common out of that position. Toggle the A-pedal to get the dom 9th.

But as you say, 1st fret F-lever works, and you can get the root by dropping the 9th string (D=>C# lower), which is a very common change. Toggle the A-pedal to go between V and V7.

Or 10th fret no-pedals plus 2nd string D#=>D lever (usually on the same lever as the 9th D=>C# lower) if you want to work of that position. I think it's useful to know how to do things in different ways and in different positions. [edited to correct brain phart].

I would also use 8th fret w/ A pedal. Typically an Am chord, but it works well over a D7. Especially walking down from the 10th fret w/ no pedals. You can use the basic string grips, but 456 & 568 sound best to my ears.

Hi Karen,

A dom7 chord that's fairly new to me and that I like a lot:

first, you have to have the "Franklin pedal" (whole step lower, strings 5, 6 and 10.

Play a D chord at fret 3, strings 1, 2 and 5.

hit the Franklin pedal, which lowers the root on string 5 a whole step.
You can resolve to the root G chord by blocking out this chord and picking any open G grip (no pedals or knees) at fret 3. Grip 1 works best (strings 3, 4, 5).

If you also have what I call the "Franklin knee lever" (string 1 raising a whole step; string 2 raising a half step), try this:

play that D7 I just described, then let go of the Franklin pedal and simultaneously engage the Franklin KL, and you get a resolve to G without having to block out anything, just ringing notes that beautifully morph to a new chord.

I don't hear anyone using these changes, but I think they're very useful and musical. Maybe Terry Bethel does, he's famous for gorgeous morphing chords!

Here's a simple but lovely move from the Buddy Emmons canon, to move from a straight D triad to D9.

5--10~~~8A--
6--10~~~8---

8--10~~~8---

And along with this, you can let off the G# lower lever (still holding the lever lowering the E's) and hit the B pedal getting a nice movement from the D to D7.

Tab:

4--3L----3L
5--3-----3
6--3LL~~~3B


L= lower 1/2 step; LL = lower full step

When you're at the 1st fret with the F lever you can pull-off & hammer-on to nice effect on almost all the strings!

Go back up and look at John Steele's little tab. If you have a knee-lever that lowers the 5th string one-half step, you can release the "A" pedal and then push that knee-lever to create another nice form of a D7 chord.
