I have a steel with 4 pedals(Emmons setup and E's on the left) and the 0(#1) spot with the Franklin pull on it. I would like to put a new change there that would work with the A pedal. Could I get some info. Thanks guys, I know I will get a lot of ideas. Looking forward to getting your ideas. Thanks,   Gary |

To work with the A pedal ? You could lower 6 to G and maybe lower 3 to G or raise it to A making a A7. That would give you the pedal 6 change on C6. If you like Don Helms you could pull 6 to B and 7 to G#. That would give you a E13 tuning. I've thought about adding that to my guitar. Be open minded, you never know what you might come up with.

I raise 1 and 2 to G# and E. While it doesn't seem to combine much at the same time, they follow each other well, such as the intro to Brad Paisley's He Didn't Have to Be.
If that change is on the floor, you can split it with the whole tone drop of 2. See this video here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XUykptG6DBQ

I recommend Tony's idea--in fact, lower both G#s to G. This results in a minor chord, and a nice minor 6th when combined with your next-door A pedal.
This minor 6th chord is also a dominant 9th of a related chord: E minor 6th (using 0 pedal + A pedal) = an A7.
Another plus: Flatting the 3rd and 6th strings gives a nice relative minor 3 frets down from the major. So instead of going from C major to A minor (8th fret) by pulling the 5th string up, you drop down 3 frets (to 5th fret) and apply the 0 pedal. Sounds less usual, and sounds good when glissing between the two.
