E9/B6 Copedent Question

Justin Emmert · From: Greensboro, NC

I'll soon be entering the E9/B6 world, but need to sort out my thoughts on the copedent. Will be going with Cowboy Eddie Long's copedent, minus the 8th pedal (I think).

1. What can you do with P7 (lowering B's to Bb)?

2. Is there a C6 pedal that gives you the the I to IV change?

Question 1. Normally seen on a lever. I don't think I'd like it on the floor.

Question 2: the standard P6 lowers 6 a half and raises 2 a half, turn C6 to F9.

1. You already have the vertical lowering 5, and lowering 9 isn't as much use as it looks. Swap it for a "standard" P7 that raises 6 & 5 a whole step.

2. That's what Eddie Long's LKR does. If you have P8 raise 4 a half step instead of lowering it, then you will get a full IV7 chord with Es lowered.
