After 25 years absence from PSG playing, I have been trying to get back into it.

Back in 1984, Jimmie installed his Crawford Cluster on my Emmons D-10. I sure miss him. I am trying to remember what chords he said I could get with the Cluster.

I now have a Front LKL to lowers 3 and 6 to G.
I now have a LKV that lowers 5 and 10 to Bb.
On the RKL, it now raises 1 to G (in addition to the standard lowering of 6 to F#).
On the RKR, it now lowers 9 to C# (in addition to the two step lowering of 2 to D and C#).
On the 6th string, I can lower to a G by Pedal A and RKL together.

I am working with Buddy Emmons' E9 Chord Vocabulary that I purchased here. Hopefully, someone could reference my questions above by fleshing out the Vocabulary (fret position using 0 reference, which strings, which pedal(s) and which knee(s).

Thank you for your help.

Bill

With respect, Bill, rather than have somebody write you out a chord dictionary, I suggest you write out some scale charts starting from each note on the guitar, but especially E relating to "no pedals open" A relating to "pedals down open" D for ninth string root, B relating to "two frets back from pedals down position" F# for the F# root notes and "two frets back from no pedals position". Compare each note available on your tuning and with your pedals and levers to those scales to see what scale/chord tones those changes give you.
It takes some effort, but it's the way to understand your guitar and what you can do with it.
