I keep thinking this has come up before but a search didn`t turn up much...
Can someone explain the use of the first pedal in Paul`s C6th tuning? I doubt if I`d ever have the nerve to try something that complex but I`d sure like to know the thinking behind it.
Anybody have any new,cool C6th changes I should know about?

I've not tried the pedal, but you could retune your guitar to what the pedals do and see what happens with the "new" tuning.

Thanks for the input, guys. Bob, I couldn`t seem to make the link work.
I`m planning to move to a C6th twelve-string tuning,so I will have the 7th string D as well as the C on the bottom.
Having heard Paul (and Maurice Anderson) play amazing bebop stuff with no pedals at all at the TSGA, I know it`s the brain/fingers and not the pedals, but I`m interested in what`s current in C6 thinking.

Paul told me that C6 pedal was tuned that way at that time becuase of a particular song on his album, in which he used that pedal for most of the tune. He thinks of this pedal as his experimental pedal. I don't believe he had anything at all on this pedal C6-wise when I talked to him.

That pedal was brought up in conversation at the NTSGA jam last weekend. He said right now he has four C6 changes on it. I don't remember what they are. But at any rate, the old tuning on that pedal is gone now.
