Here's an intresting way to get around the circle of 5ths using 7th chords on the C6th tuning. You need to have a lever that raises your C's to C#, and another that raises your A's to Bb.
| Tab: |
A7 D7 G7 C7 F7 Bb7 Eb7 Ab7 Db7 Gb7 B7 E7

C__12#__11#__10#__9#___8#___7#___6#___5#___4#___3#___2#___1#_
A__12___11#__10___9#___8____7#___6____5#___4____3#___2____1#_
G__12___11___10___9____8____7____6____5____4____3____2____1__
E__12___11b__10___9b___8____7b___6____5b___4____3b___2____1b_
C__12#__11#__10#__9#___8#___7#___6#___5#___4#___3#___2#___1#_
A____________________________________________________________

even frets: C>C# lever
odd frets: C>C# lever + A>Bb lever + p6 |
The first position (C# lever only) makes a 7th chord 3 frets above the root position for that chord. For example, F root position is 5th fret, so F7 with the C# lever is at the 8th fret.
The other position (C# + Bb + p6) makes a 7th chords 3 frets below the root position for that chord. For example, F root position is 5th fret, so F7 with this combination is at the 2nd fret.
You can also get a 7th chord at the root position with just the Bb lever. There are lots of 7th chords on the C6th neck.

thx Bob, I knew there was a reason you are king of the Steel Guitar forum ! I never thought of looking at this in this way, but it now makes perfect sense...to someone with limited sense

| Another way to play the circle of fourths is A7 fret 13 ped. 5&6 and A-Ab lever, D7 fret 12 ped. 5 , G7 fret 11 ped 5&6 and lower A-Ab , C7 fret 10 ped 5 , repeat |
