I am curious. How many of you engage multiple knee levers using a vertical lever as one of them? Examples:

LKL and LKV

LKR and LKV

LKL2 and LKV

LKR2 and LKV

I can't manage it, Carl - that's why I lower my 5th and 10th on RKL ...

All the time, Carl
LKV (my only vertical) can be combined with 3 out of 4 of my other left levers -- physically -- but I never use the Bb and F levers together.

Vertical is B to A#
One LKL is G# to G -- E diminished or dim7 open
Other one is the E to D change, yielding E9b5 open
The other left lever raises 1 and 7 to G# and 2 to E and the throw is so long it takes my knee out of position -- even if I wanted to combine them -- not sure why I'd want to.

So, yes, I combine the vertical with two other left levers, in addition to the three on my right knee.

Hey Carl,
I have my LKV lowering my 5th string to Bb on my Ext.E9 universal. I tune my 2nd string to C# and raise it to D# on my LKL which also lowers the 10th string B to Bb. If I need to lower both the 5th & 10th I just lift up my knee while I'm depressing the LKL and they both work together just fine.

I can think of a few times when I've used my LKL (inside) that lowers my G#s top G with the LKV which lowers the B-Bb. I got the idea of the combo from Jimmie Crawford, so I guess he does it too!
