After reading/gazing at a few different charts, there seem to be as many variations as there are pickers..
This being my first C6 PSG, I'm in the dark. Not sure if what I have on this Marlen is normal or not. So far the pedals don't seem to be particularly useful, but what the heck do I know.. LOL
If there's a standard I could check it against, I think I would be able to figure out if it's the guitar or the operator..
I have this tuned (low to high) CFACEGACEG
Thanks!

A lot of us use the same tuning you have with G on top, and pedal 5 change from G to G# a must for the diminished and augumented chords. I suggest you try this first so you can see and hear how the full chords sound. Then if you want, then try the D on top.
Thanx,
Jim
ps- I did change my pedal 4 to lower both E's to Eb which gives a nice sound and some more flexibility. |

Thanks guys.  These resources will definitely give me food for thought.. LOL..
So far I'm doing OK (for a guy who has maybe an hour on this neck to date)but I know there is so much more to find.. I find the C6 more intuitive in many ways, but think that getting the pedals (and two knees) under control will increase my fluency a thousand fold..

I'm happy to report the instrument is fine. The loose nut holding the bar is out of whack..
One of my pedals (I'm away from my PSG, I think it may have been P5) does a bunch more than on the charts, I noticed it, then didn't write it down, so I'll have to see what's really going on there- it did what was expected, but then moved two other notes higher up as well.. That would explain why the chords didn't line up with what I was expecting. Somebody must have added or changed something under the hood.. At least I know what to look for now. Thanks again!

When all else fails, watch the nylon nuts.
the 5&1 seen on charts is pretty much a minimum, with lots of folks adding more, or putting pedals on knees (pressing P5 and 7 together is an oft-used combo; putting one on a knee avoids, or reduces, double-footing)
PS: if this repeats what was in that thread, sorry. I was driving, didn't wanna follow a link)
