Info on using the second string half & whole tone lower

Gary Arnold · From: Panhandle of Florida, USA

Could I get some simple examples of using this KL(RKR) for a half & whole lower for beginners and some theory on why it was put on the steel to start with and who used it first. I am posting this for a friend of mine that don't have a computer, I will have to make copies of this post and fax it to him, he is a new player and has discovered he has this knee lever and is not satisfied with what I have sent him. His copedent is a standard Emmons setup on his beginners steel. All post will be helpful, maybe Paul Southerland and Dick Sexton can jump on this for me. Thanks,,,,,,,, Very Happy

Gary: I don't mean to be ignoring you. I only have the half tone lower so can't give any insights on the full tone lower. I've been thinking about how I use the lever and what I might put onto a video for you regarding the half tone lower. But I can't get around to actually recording the video for probably a couple weeks. Hope you can wait. Paul

the half tone serves as a 7th it is the same as string 9 when lowered. listen to some mel streets intros and breaks you will hear this being used, also 1/2 could be heard on buck owens sams place for that 7th chord. now the full tone it matches the 5th string c# when the A pedal is down and you do a full lower it is also a C# you can hear this being used in a lot of Ray Price songs like healing hands of time and many other uses
