A pedal/E lever Combination?

[Chris LeDrew]

I've been gravitating toward raising the B's and lowering the E's lately, particularly to get a sus chord one fret up from a chord in the AB pedals down position. And if you come off the E lever and onto the F lever in this position, you get a nice swing into the full 4 chord. Obviously, raising the G#'s along with lowering the E's is a very common change. But until now, I haven't raised the B's while lowering the E's at all. Lately I've been incorporating it all over the place. Anybody else use this change often? <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Chris LeDrew on 11 December 2006 at 06:42 AM.]</p></FONT>

I use that a lot as I don't have the "normal" C pedal. When you're using the B as the root with the E's lowered the A pedal becomes the same as raising the E to F# with the C pedal. In the B chord, an F# note is the V of that chord. I have my pedal 1 raising the 7th string F# to G# for some other "Brumley" type things but I use it for this to When using it with my "A" pedal and letting off of my E lowers it gives me the same thing as the C pedal does, ex. Raising the high 3rd a half tone, and raising the 1st and 5th notes of the chord a whole step.....JH in Va.

It`s also a nice E 6/maj7 chord , w/o the root.
