When a note in tab is noted as "split tuned", what does that mean? Thanks

It means one pedal raises the string a whole step, and a second pedal lowers it a half step, and the result is a half step raise that you can tune independently of the other two pulls. Or vice versa.

Thanks Earnest. I purchased a John Hughey tab book at the ISGC this past week and saw the split tuned and the two LKL. Thank you very much for explaining this to me. John had a special sound and immense feeling that most of the other great players dont have. Thank you.

Amen Gary, and NOBODY plays or sounds like John Hughey did, and more than likely no one ever will again.

Hughey, if I remember correctly, used the Day setup. Thus if you have the Emmons setup, some of his knee levers would be in different locations.

Jack, you are correct. The Hughey tab is using the Day set up.
