Eight String PSG Question.

Post by Tony Boadle »

Advice appreciated. My PSG journey has made amazing progress thanks to my Hudson six-string. I'm now waiting on delivery of an eight string Fuzzy (baby-steps!)
It only has three pedals, I'll be tuning to the bottom eight of E9, using two pedals for the G# and B raises. I was considering using the third pedal to lower the Es as I'm if a certain age and find using the knee levers (two on the Hudson raising and lowering the Es) a little uncomfortable on my stiff joints.
Maybe later on I'll add two levers but for now
I'd prefer to use the third pedal.
Looking at the pics, any suggestions on how it could be done? Thanks in advance 👍
PS The Japanese note was already on the pic

A LOT of great music was cut on an 8 string steel.
