Interesting, pedal #1 sixth string to Bd and the vertical lever fifth string to Bd. Why not just have the vertical lever?

Um, now I get it, you can use pedal #1 & #2 together with no conflict B to Bd on the 5th string.

Here is a link to Trap's Chord Chart Converted for U-12
You may need to compensate for Cowboys copedant.

I just looked at the copendent started going pedal to pedal,and it hit me. The first pedal would be numbered 0 (Zero Pedal). Then the pedals would 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7. This would make it EMMONS/Nashville which would translate 0-A-B-C-4-5-6-7 to use for E9 lessons or tablature. 4-5-6-7 is different on many coppendents.

I started about 18 months ago on a 12U. I hunted the internet for different copendents, I have Sierra, Carl Dixon's, BMI and Jeff Newman's they have the first 3 pedals EMMONS/NASHVILLE ABC, or NEWMAN CBA. Franklin and GFI list the first pedal with that A# like "Cowboy" Eddie Longs.

This is part of the fun playing a steel guitar, They cut and fit for what they wanted, Now we have to live with it and figure it out. Good Luck and Happy Steelin on your venture.

The pedal chart above got me to thinking. I put the pedal #1 change above, string six G# to A# on a LKL and it works great with my A pedal. I sacrificed the 9th string B to D.

This was a gem of a post when you find a usable and an easy change.

You have two of the standard C6th pedals.
Your P5 is the standard P8, and your P6 is the standard P5. Your P8 is half of the standard P6, but only half.
A chord chart for standard Unis would fall down because you're missing the standard P7, which is a part of the staple diet for most uni and C6th players.
I think it might be easier to ask 'where can I find a X chord on my tuning?" rather than try to find a comprehensive chord chart. Unless Eddie has one made up.

Thanks Lane, very helpful . Maybe some standard c6 lessons would be more realistic

When the EKL is engaged and you are in the B6th mode what is the “fret board” in the B6th mode ? Obviously I understand it doesn’t chage, but hopefully someone can understand what I’m trying to say

I'm not sure what the question is.

Cameron,
It's basically C6th, just one step down.
The notes are- B,E,G#, B, E,F#,G#,B,E,G#,D#,F#

Here is a good song to play along with, in B6th mode.
Choo-Choo Cha Boogie:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-86tKcNMdg
Tuned to Standard pitch, this song is in F.
Engage RR and put the Bar on Fret-6.
You will basically use a "snap your fingers" style of picking, on strings 10-4.
Start the song and play along.
When you hear the chord change, switch from RR to LKR (or P8 ) at fret 6.
The other basic chord in the song is two frets up with LKR (or P8 ).
On the word Choo-Choo, I would go with P8 at fret-6.
Welcome to the B6th tuning. It's super fun!
Cowboy Eddie's setup is a "One-Big-Tuning" type of Universal setup. You can play out of E9th or B6th or A6th modes all over the place.

When it goes to the IV chord, I'd go to the 9th fret with your P6 (the standard P5), but that's just a matter of taste.
Pete's suggestion gives you a Bb7th chord, while mine gives you a Bb9th.

His P8 gives him that inversion.
I tried to keep it with the KISS method. Smile

There are other B6th flavored changes on there.
With RR engaged, you can use the your P3 (B-pedal) to go from a 6th chord to a 7th chord.
With RR engaged, P1+P2 basically gives you a faux P7 function.
Your LKR+P6 gives you a Diminished chord that you can use one fret back from open position (then they repeat every three frets in either direction).
You can play the Boo-Wha style that sounds like "Hold It" by going between your P5 and P6.
Also, in E9th mode, that P8 gives you a nice 7th chord.
Your P7 also gives you a 7th-chord, two frets back from open in E9th.

Of course. I'd forgotten about the F# 1st string in there.

I like Lane's way, too!.. (which is how I usually play the song, because I don't lower both strings 4 and 8 to D).
You can toggle on/off the string-5 B-to-Bb while you are at that position to get part of the intro lick.

Though not using a single pedal, the changes are available. P1 & P2 together give the standard P7 change. If one is comfortable with two-footing that combined with his P6 gives the standard P5 & P7 combination, and his P1 & P2 with LKR would give the standard P6 & P7 combination.

Here a couple questions on Cowboys tuning for you.

1. How to get a standard P6 with this tuning. ( I'm guessing is something with releasing RKR, but not sure.)

2. What to do with Cowboys P7?

Looks like P1 and P2 together are sort of a hybrid P7 substitute. I do that split on a knee kever in my uni coped but prefer the regular p7 on a d10.

Looks two footer style coped for B6.
But..

Pushing P7 with the right foot is where most of the fun is in playing steel.
