Here is some of the ways I use the knee-lever that drops 9th D-C# and 2nd Eb-D-C#.
Most examples use the 9th string lower so I'll try to post another with more 2nd string examples.

Something really nice about having the 2nd Eb-D-C# and 9th D-C#.
1 The Major-scale can be harmonized on the top strings.
2 On the low strings you can play all maj7,min7,min7b5,diminished and augmented as full chords.


C Bmb5 Am G F Em Dm
F#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eb--11LL--9L----8LL---6LL---4LL---3LL---1LL----------------------------------
G#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
E --11R---9R----8-----6R----4R----3-----1------------------------------------
B ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
G#--11----9-----8-----6-----4-----3-----1------------------------------------
F#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
D ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .



Cmaj7 Bm7b5 Am7 G7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
F#----------*----------------------------------------------------------------
Eb---------------------------------------------------------------------------
G#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B --11a---9a----8-----6-----4a----3-----1------(A-Pedal IS ONLY HALFPRESSED)-
G#--11----9-----8-----6-----4-----3-----1------------------------------------
F#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
E --11R---9R----8-----6R----4R----3-----1------------------------------------
D --11L---9-----8L----6L----4L----3L----1L-----------------------------------
B ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 .

* Note1: If you play the Bm7b5 w/out pressing A-pedal at all you have a Bdiminished
* Note2: Play any of the Major-chords with both A+B pressed and you have a Augmented chord
