Can anyone name me one major song on what passes for country radio in the last five years that has used either the second string whole tone lower or the ninth string half lower?

not sure why this is important..

these are both very important pulls and in my view should be on every Steel giutar.

I can play 13ths, add 5 add 9's etc on the 6 string but I haven't heard Keith Richards play anything but a stock triad A chord in the entire 40 years I have listened to Stones songs.

I suspect if you dig thru the AJ sessions you will hear these changes...or possible Vince Gill sessions...

by the way 2nd string whole tone lower, "Look At Us " comes to mind...that would be JH as you know...

I don't recall if I copied from an earlier Emmons recording or just adapted the change from one of his other recordings, but; I begin my intro. to ‘A Way To Survive’ using the 2nd. string lower in combination with the 5th. str. raise. (2=C# to D# & 5=C# to B) Years ago, (before the KL) some people originally Lowered #2 on the (A)-pedal. [George Edwards did this, on his Sho-Bud.] BTW: On the KL that Lowers #2 (1)-tone & #9 (½)-tone, you might try adding #10 Lowering (1)-tone to (A) also!

Hi Kevin,
Not sure if this is a hypothetical question, or if you're looking for more examples of where this change was used.
If you're looking for examples, go to Rebel's clip site. There are 4 clips that I remembered posting over the last few years, that show some subtle uses for the 2nd string full tone lower:
1972-Whiskey River-Weldon
1975-New River Gorge-Russ' solo for Charlie Mccoy
1997-Paul's solo in Sammy Kershaw tune
2004-Paul's E9 solo in burnin the Honky Tonks

Hope this helps

It's been a few years longer than that, but I remember working up Paul's solo in "In Love With a Waitress" and it used the 9th string lower. It's a very inconspicuous change. It doesn't have a unique sound to it, but it's very handy when you need it.

In country, I often use it as a scale tone at the V fret, or as the low note of a V7 to I resolution.

In rock, I use it in the pentatonic scale with the E's lowered (Em at the 8th fret, for example). I don't know how common that position is on country radio, but it's all over the latest Open Hearts CD.

According to the tab that I've seen for ‘Look At Us’ there is no use of the 2nd. string Lower at all, unless it is used during the fills, behind the Vocal on the actual record/CD/?! The only changes used in the instrumental turn~around are pedals (C)-(B)-(A) and the (E)-Lower KL! In fact, the 2nd. string is only used for the (2) Lead~in notes for the instrumental~break!

Ricky is correct as usual. My point is that I can buy having the second string whole lower (maybe). The second string half lower to me is mandatory. But the ninth string lower is near useless for today's music and the pull is better off devoted to something else. The sixties guys didn't use it either from what I can see.

The 2nd string movement is the important change; a half-tone is mandatory, the whole tone thing is nice for some unison licks and some opposing motion licks. I'm sure there's some speed picking (which I don't/can't do ) chops in there also

The ninth string change seems like it's most used for the half-stop feel on s.2. But I use it occasionally for 1) an opposing motion V to I resolution with s.6 and pedal B; 2) as the root tone of a m7 chord on strings 9, 8, 6, 5; and 3) a unison note with s.10 and pedal A.

Years ago I raised s.9 to D# with my E-F lever. It gave me a tetrachord scale with pedal A on s. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, or C#, D#, E# (F), F#, G#. But I lost the D note for the diminished chord so I eventually deleted the change when I went from Sho~Bud to Emmons in 1982.

Wait, you mentioned it's use on the country hits of the last 5 years. That let's me out! I haven't played any of them songs.

I don't see Paul Franklin taking it off his guitar!

If all you're interested in is the high twangy lead licks, you could lose the bottom two strings of the E9th and nobody would even notice. But if you're going to add low harmonies, why remove a very useful standard change? Half of the functionality of the "new" P4 change revolves around getting a low A chord. What's the advantage gained by removing the low third of the chord?

I think there's a lot more use of this change than you think. I'd be handicapped without it. I'm not copying licks off of hit records, but neither are the guys who record them.

If all you hear are the solos and fills, you don't need low changes at all. But what is the steel playing behind the fiddle fill? What is the steel playing behind the lead guitar? That's where the low notes come into play a lot. Why cripple your own rhythm chops before you even sit down to play?

I would be with Bob here on the 9th string half-tone lower. I added it a couple of years ago, and started experimenting with where and how to use. I would hard pressed to give it up now. Very handy in pentatonic scales. And also very uselful in extending speed scales down the neck. I am still finding chord voicing usages...especially with various 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9 string grips. My vote / keep it (add it if you don't have it).

I can't speak in terms of fancy 9ths, 13ths, and other "ths," or even using knee levers for scales (because I normally slide up and down a fret to get those scale notes when playing single note leads/scales), but I really have been digging the raising/lowering of the 7th a whole, the lowering of the 2nd a whole, lowering the 9th a half, raising the 4th a whole, raising the 1st a whole, etc., just as different ways to get to chord resolution or doubling up on the same note with two strings. I can't remember who brought this "fact" up (if it is, indeed, a fact; I repeat it like it is when I talk to people about the pedal steel), but studies have shown -- and excuse me if I'm repeating something that's mentioned here often in other threads, that the most pleasing note passages for the human ear are when two or more notes are struck, and while one or two notes sustain on the same note, another note raises or lowers and resolves the chord.

As mentioned once in this thread, the 9th being lowered a half is a great version of getting the A/B pedal down chord by using your 9th lower instead of the 10th raise. And as Big John mentioned, what's even a neater resolution is to have your 10th lower instead of raise a whole tone while the 9th lowers. Granted, you either have to use four picks or quickly/slowly pick at strings in succesion (which is what I do), but the payoff is the bigger, more lush chord that Bobbe is noted for.

Hey, I say use our steels to sound like something guitars can't sound like! Pickin' single-note leads and chicken' pickin' is fine and dandy, but to me, the magic of steel lies in the beautiful, big chords -- and lowering that 9th a half tone is just one of the raises/lowers that gets us that beauty not many other instruments can achieve.

I have to admit that it's taken me years to think outside the box on using just three notes to get a chord, but now I'm using 7 and more strings often to get big chords.

I haven't listened to top 40 country in the last 5 years, but I'm sure it's in there. Why would the top players keep a change if they didn't use it? My guitar has 5 pedals and 5 knees, and you can bet I'd replace any one of them that I didn't use on every gig I play.

Like I said, I think its most common use is as the low 3rd of a I chord, at the V fret. It's usually the first or last note of a phrase, like (in E):
F#________________________________
D#________________________________
G#________________________________
E ________________________________
B _____7__________________________
G#________7#--7___________________
F#________________7_______________
E ____________________7___________
D ________________________7--7b___
B ________________________________
or some variation thereof.

Ist one that comes to mind is Mark Chesnutt's cut of "Old Country". PF lowers that ninth string a 1/2 tone at the end of the intro and turn around to resolve the "I" chord.

Kevin,

Maybe we're missing your goal. Are you merely trying to replicate today's top 40 country?

Or is your point that you think the 9th lower is useless? Just come out and say it, dude, because you've been given credulous reasons why it benefits not only bedroom music, but music played on "big star" music.

Oh, I guess you've already stated you think it's useless. That's okay. Like Ricky told me, "if you can't hear it, you ain't gonna use it." And like you said -- he's normally right.

Okay, we have one in the last ten years. Thats a real country song anyhow so it doesn't really count. Anyone got another? Otherwise its a useless change if you are playing modern top 40 country. Bobby, thats what I expected. If you don't listen to or play the modern country crap then you are happy with your ninth string lower. Believe me, its not in there. Wasn't in there in the sixties either for the most part. Al I haven't been given credulous reasons why its useful in todays top 40 country. I'm saying if you play top 40 country the whole string loweron the second and the ninth string lower
are generally useless and unecessary. Yeah I'm trying to replicate top 40 country. Thats my job. Al I hear just fine. Show me a ninth string lower in those songs. Greg named one.

Kevin,

Sorry -- I don't listen to modern country music, either. And I guess you're right -- you've not been given credulous reasons that it's used in modern country.

It's a shame, because it's a pretty resolution and could easily fit in modern country music. If you've tried it and don't like it, that's okay, too. I think that's why there are so many pedal/lever setups -- to suit everybody's tastes. Your tastes, I'm gathering, have no use for the 9th lower. You're still my American, steel brother, brother!

Okay guys. I did this on purpose. Partly to show what a sad state of affairs that so called modern country has sunk to. When you've got sellouts like Trace Adkins doing Honky Tonk Bedonk (which is a blatant rock/blues song) and corrupting country music, there's no room for these beautiful steel guitar changes in the music. The other to emphasize what guys in the sixties did with two knee levers and three pedals. Fortunatly I still have SOME quality steel time with my band. If it was up to me I would be playing balads in a traditional country band and using all the changes available to me. But thats not the case. When people compliment me on my steel playing I just say thank you and shake my head because I KNOW what the steel is really capable of. It can be very frustrating not being able to use modern changes availble on the steel because the music DOES NOT allow it. I think that we live in our own world as steel players because we know what the instrument is capable of. The reality of of todays top 40 country is quite different. Still I keep as many Brumley licks in there as I can sqeeze in. Same for Mooney. If there is a steel player in the audience. They'll know.

Kevin,
I am not profficient in writing tab..and certainly do not know how to post it here. If you want, drop me an email with your phone number and I will call you in the next night or two, and talk you through some of the ways I use the 9th lower.

BTW, I don't necessarily disagree with you on "modern country" and pedal steel freedom. But I am fortunate to be in band that, although we cover quite a few of current country tunes, I can take the latitude to still inject some of my own style into backup. The intros / turns I try to stay faithful to the record (within my capabilities of course).

If you're doing top 40 modern country, why even have a steel guitar?

But there are so many uses for these changes and here's another that follows the chord progression used on Night Life but it starts with a minor 7th chord and can easily be played with only 3 picks and with a lot of variations, even the next to last set of notes at fret 6 are useful as a turnaround for in key of E. Quite useful if picked from lower (string 10) to high in sequence also. Just the ability to get the 4 note minor 7th chord easily is worth dropping the 9th string 1/2 tone.

Can anyone name a Waylon Jennings or Buck Owens tune that used a ninth string lower or second string whole tone? Gene, have you tried to play Paul Franklin's solo on Alan Jackson's "I Don't Even Know Your Name"? Or on Kenny Chesney's "She's Got It All"? Pretty difficult stuff. Its modern country. Greg, if I was going to play "Night Life" it would be on C6th. If we played "Night Life" at the clubs where we play, the young people would probably walk out. Ashame isn't it?

Another neat lick using the E9th string 1/2 tone lower is a 6/9 chord like the tele players use all the time to end a song. If you wiggle the bar a bit like a tremolo, it will sound awesome, just let all the strings ring. Note that string 10 is left open. For playing in other positions, just eliminate string 10.

The other lick I posted above (night life progression) works as a great turnaround in a variety of songs too. The fingering comes quickly if you practice it for a few hours.

Just this morning, I was listening to the "Trappin' Squirrels" Catfish John tape that is all about the 2nd string 1/2 and whole step lowers. No top 40 country, just a lot of really cool lines.

I have been surprised (because I don't listen to the radio) by hearing some good music coming out of modern country (that my Berklee students have played for me)- Brad Paisley for one; Randle Currie plays some great steel, Brad is a most excellent player, and it's good music to my ears. That's my only criteria; I love great country music and great classical music and whatever else is great.

It's always a drag having to go out and be a living jukebox playing what's on the radio, when you know there is so much more to music than that. I'm sure Joaquin played a few gigs for money and had to play what he considered to be crap, too. The only thing left to do is invent an new popular idiom that allows all the coolness of the steel to be featured up front...and pays the bills as well.Then we can all cash in and have fun doing it!

I use those changes a lot more in blues/rock than I do in country. Consider the Em pentatonic scale:

F#____8___________________________
D#_________8LL____________________
G#__8_____________________________
E ______8L________________________
B _____________8__________________
G#_______________8________________
F#_________________8______________
E ___________________8L___________
D ______________________8L________
B _________________________8______
Noodling up and down the strings on this position gives you a ton of blues licks in E, and blues licks are what's required in a lot of the NCS.

I use this change alot in modern songs. One I use alot is Going from a one chord with A and B pedals down. I'll strike the 5, 6, and 9 strings with it lowered a half and then release the lever when the songs next change is a 4 major7th. A one chord to a major 7th or 9th is extremely common in todays songs.

Kevin,

I've used the change on Shania, Faith Hill, Tim Mcgraw, Lonestar, and too many others to list here within the past five years.

Try lowering the tenth string to A along with that same lever to open up the tuning for todays music.

It would help if I could hear it in context.
Thanks.

No I think Paul pretty much covered the "MODERN Country" uses of the change.Well, at least he gave you a good starting point. All the other guys offered some good examples.Yet, that seemed to bore you.

There's and old saying.If you can't hear the need for the change.Maybe you don't need it.

quote:
The only thing left to do is invent an new popular idiom that allows all the coolness of the steel to be featured up front...and pays the bills as well.Then we can all cash in and have fun doing it!

That would be Robert Randolph. And the majority of the steel community don't seem to care for that either.

To tell the truth. He's not my favorite steeler either.Not saying he's not good at what he does. And the Money for Nothing. Chicks for Free. Well, who needs that anyway.

Not boring me at all Bobby. Just trying to get to the bottom of it.

...but Kevin, up above you said the 9th lower was "completely useless in modern country music," and "believe me, it's not in there."

I guess you stand corrected now?

Not yet Al. I'm waiting to hear exactly what specific songs it was used on. Until I do I have nothing to reference. Can you tell me? That was my original question. I really want to know.
