Tom, if you do go the adapter route instead of just using the XLR out (which is fine, as explained above), then I recommend using a short 1/4" to XLR cable instead of a solid adapter as you have ...

Hey Bryce, I'm interested in this package deal. I will email you later this AM.

A quick browse through the Hank Williams repertoire (for example) will show that your premise is simply not true.

Type "C...2"

The number indicates the length of hold. Even though it becomes invisible when you press enter it should still apply.

I love my Bb lower change. I've moved it to RKR by the way, based on the late all the time, for augmented 1 chords (open with A+V), for minor 4 chords (AB+V) very often throwing in string 1 for the m ...

When playing a single note melody and you want to harmonize the notes what do you use 3rds or 6ths?

Nice video! I've been working on this lick for a while and have it pretty well under my fingers but I still don't really understand how or where to apply it in a practical manner.

The ABE 9th on strings 654 is pretty much the classic pedal steel chord. Drop down 2 frets from a V with AB, add the E lever and presto: instant steel guitar goodness.

You can find this same chord ...

Sounds to my ears like a pretty basic 1 2m 2#m 3m 3m7 4 progression, in the key of D.

Try starting on 6B5A at fret 5, then drop 2 frets (to fret 3) and play 5A4, up a fret, up another fret, then up ...

I understood that 'Nashville number system' expressly refers to using Arabic numerals and not Roman numerals to designate the chords - is it different for pedal steel?

Nice playing Andre! Could you share the settings you used on the Katana?

To answer the original question, yes I do use the B->Bb lever by itself quite often. Sometimes to get that flatted 5 in open position, but more often just as a passing tone in melody or improvisat ...
