I was wondering if anyone on the forum playing C6th was still using Curly's open tuning and pedal setup? Tenn.Lee

I don’t play much of “that kind” of C6(my style is quite primitive) but I put that copedent on my Sho~Bud Permanent because of the limitations of the changer.

Curly's 4th pedal raised the two As a whole tone.
5th pedal raise 3rd A-B, lower 4th G-F#
Raised 8th F to F#

He never lowered his G to F.

With either of his right knee levers he could lower no. 3 A half tone, and with his left knees he could raise no. 3 a half tone That's unusual. He gets some great playing out of that copedent. I'm tempted to try it,Tenn.Lee
