E9 Tuning.
Key of D. I'm on the 4 chord...G. Third fret, no pedals. Time to move to the 5 chord...A.
More often than not, I slide up to the 5th fret, pressing the B & C pedals and then releasing them.
This moves from G, to Bm, to A and sounds nice. Strings 3, 4, & 5 or Strings 4, 5, & 6
Other times (don't know why!) I'll slide from the 3rd fret, no pedals, up to the 6th fret, A pedal & F lever.
Then back to the 5th fret, no pedals.
This moves from G, up to another inversion of G, and then to A.
I think the first way is more musical. If the bass player is playing a walking 1 3 5 3 pattern on the G chord, he will be hitting the B note on the way down to the A on the 5 chord. One bass player I have played with will often go to that 3 note (B) on a slow song, prior to hitting the A note. One possible pitfall of the BC pedal combination is, if you have moved up the two frets, pressed the BC pedals and the bass player stays on the G note, the result is a GMaj7. This may not be the best chord for that spot in the song!

Either I'm right, or there is a sinister conspiracy to conceal the fact that I'm right.
