I don't know how many of you have done this, but boy was I surprised in the middle of a song, I found I forgot to flip the knee levers down! After a second I remembered there are other ways to get the needed chords, but in the first song of a set it got my attention.

You mean you supposed to flip those thingies down.  Just kidding, Yes I have done this.
I was late for a jam and set to fast and simply forgot. I think as I get older it will happen more often. So Jaclyn your not alone.

Knee levers ? I wondered what those things were. I should turn my PSG upside down more often. Who knows what other wonders I might find.  |

be careful and not throw your hip out of place going for the invisible knee lever.

| Have not (as yet) forgotten to lower the levers completely, but when playing the C6 neck, I tend to put the LKR (E-Eb)to the left of my knee to gain easier access to pedals 5 through 8 and have upon occasion neglected to reposition my knee when changing back to the front neck. |

When I was doing 'Best Little Whorehouse...' at the Drury Lane Theatre, London, in 1981 the band would walk on stage one at a time (piano first, then bass, then drums, etc) and begin to play 'San Antionio Rose'. I was last, and things were timed so that I would sit down just in time to play the 'bridge'...
During a week of particularly childish pranks on stage, I got to my steel, picks already on, and attempted to launch into my solo - they'd gaffer-taped all my knee-levers up into the guitar...
It was, um, challenging, but I got my own back....

An equally-nasty trick is to undo the nuts, so that your knee levers drop off, or just loosten them to the extent that they don't do anything.  |

Did you really wait 'til the end of the song to unfold 'em?  |

Our run of 'Whorehouse' was from January through June - as soon as the last show finished I had the gaffer-tape off those knee-levers in a flash!!!
