Reverse pedal 6 phrases?

Cody Coombs · From: Washington, USA

Hi all,

On my c6 neck I have the knee lever that lowers my 2nd string and raises my 6th. (The reverse of pedal 6 which raises the 2nd string and lowers the 6th.) Anyone have any uses or phrases they would care to share?

Thanks,
Cody

I don’t have any specific single string licks using ‘the opposite of Pedal 6’ change, but I do find it very useful as an alternate ‘voicing / inversion ‘ as the original chord produced by engaging Pedal 6.

And of course you can use either of those two inversions as the 1 chord in your progression.

I have found that if mixed with the 8th pedal (boowah) it can make what I think is a nice augmented chord.

I have been doing some reading on all of the previous posts about this same lever and have come across many good bits of information. This back neck is still a huge mystery to me, but I’m slowly getting the hang of it!

I have it on p4 next to p5. Like Ron, I use it with pedal 5 mostly. P5 + p6 gives a nice Cdim in the lower strings. Combining p5 with the reverse 6 lever gives the Cdim in the higher strings.

Also allows you to minor the C chord on string 2 with strings 3 and 5.

Gives an F note in the middle strings that is missing otherwise. Although, I have a lever that lowers string 5 from G to F, giving an F in the middle, and raises string 1 to D#.

I am anxious to see other uses though. Thanks for asking.
