well let's see- this is from memory (not sitting at the guitar so I may revise it later):
Fairly standard E9th changes;lever "K" lowers 2nd a whole step, lever "L" lowers E's a half.
The idea is a riff starting on a unison over a V chord and splitting apart in halfsteps to resolve on the I. I think the origin of the concept is early 60's Emmons (maybe Day) ; I figured it out on my own and had it verified by Burt Rivera when I met him at a Don Walser gig several years ago.

Are you lowering your third string there, Dave?
