Copedant question

Bill McCloskey · Posted 9 Sep 2006 7:05 am

I've been looking at those Lone Start port-a-steels and have been thinking it might be fun to get one that has the same tuning as my 8 string dobro (EGBDEGBD) and have some pulls.

The lone star comes with 3 pedals and 2 wrist levers.If you were setting up a copedant for this set up, what would you choose?

BTW, this is basically an C6 tuning tuned to G6,so I'm guessing a standard C6 changes would work.

I like it,
but I might change the P2 to

G to G#
like the C-C# lever on C6.

Same chord but up 3 frets inverted voicings.
A really great way to transition to the IV.
Or go opne IV - I within 2 frets

Or get the MII from position IV

Also in I position it's the Major VI.
Ya got the mVI with the E root.

The II9 can be gotten with P1,
from open VI position,
so It seems redundant.
