Don't forget up 3 frets with A & F and 3rd fret with B & E.
Also if you have vertical knee lever. A-B & V for C minor
on the 3rd fret and A pedal on 3rd fret for E minor and if
you use just the E lever you'll get a minor 1 fret up from
the A&B pedal down position. Hope this helps a little.

Scott: The V on the A+F combo should be open, four frets up, not two.

I think Scott means +2 above the IV which is correct.

Carl, PM me with your e-mail address and I'll send you my "E9 Cheat Sheet" - I think it will help you. I has the major chords, but also the other scale degrees too, like the ii, iii, vi etc:

C Dm Em F G Am Bdim/G7 and back to C

Carl..Not certain if this has been mentioned, but the lever that lowers string four 1/2 tone and the lever that lowers string six a whole tone when engaged simultaneously create a V chord (utilizing string combinations; 4,5,&6;56&8;,and 6,8,&10) in the pedals up position...FWIW: you may notice that by lowering string six you are creating a unison note with string seven, but by lowering six instead the V chord is then available in all three string groups without the necessity of changing string grips or even restriking the strings.

In his video lessons Joe Wright identifies four home positions: open, A/B, A/F and the one that David's just described, which I think he calls the B position.

My aim is to be able to go fluently to IV, V, ii, iii, or vi from any of them. I'm slowly getting there.

I don't have a printed thing, but in my latest two videos, I show both an ascending and descending harmonized scale.
