I have been raising strings 1&7 F#s a whole tone and string 7 a half tone also. Today a put a change on RKL that lowered string 7 a whole tone to E. On slow songs it makes a nice resolve to the root in the open position.
As a community I feel we have been ignoring the F#s, we lower strings 5 and 6 and 10 etc, but the F#s can be just as exciting (raising and lowering) and add a new dimension to our playing.
Power to the F#s, you might discover a whole new world.

| Larry, I lower both strings 6&7 LKL2 a full tone same knee along with string 2 to an E and string 1 to a G You can use with A+B Or drop off A use only B WITH IT AND SLIDE TWO FRETS AHEAD then back to home key drop the A back in. ALSO with the New knee + A&B + lower string 5 with another knee which is my RKL makes the 5th string to a C because you are holding the A pedal in you can find lots of new sounds I have had this for 5 yrs on my LaGrande111 and now on the MSA M-3 |

Larry,
I've had that pull on my guitars as long as I can remember. I used to play in a country rock group, Used it quiet a bit then. Some cool minor stuff with it.
