Thanks,

E to D# lever = B6 which is the same as G#m7
strings 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 1
root is on 3 and 6

A+B = A6 -- same as F#m7
strings 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 1
root is on 1 and 7

--just thought of another--
B pedal = D6 -- same as Bm7
strings 10, 9, 7, 6, 5, 3, 1
root is on 10 and 5
(warning -- unless you really WANT a m11 chord, 4 and 8 are not in the chord -- stay away from those notes -- they are the 4th or 11th scale tones of the mi7 chord -- they do work ok off the D chord -- it's a D6/9)

Jim,

with the A and B pedals down, open strings 7-6-5-4 five you F# minor 7th (F#-A-C#-E) (also 6-5-4-1).

With the lever lowering 4 and 8 a half step(E-D#) you get G# Minor 7th with open strings 8-7-6-5 (D#-F#-G#-B)(also 7-6-5-4(2), 6-5-4(2)-1

If you have a lever lowering the 9th string a half-step (D to C#), with that lever the open strings 9-6-5-4 give you C# minor 7th (C#-G#-B-E).

Dan
