BEYOND THE REEF 02 - FENDER 400 | Someone is playing a melody on a slide guitar over a backing track containing an uptight bass, acoustic guitar and mild acoustic drum groove. This song may be playing outside on a sunny day practicing guitar. | 2011-11-09T13:23:22Z | DaveB11th | I learned this song from Basil Henriques, using his A7th setup... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ceno6hM1IA&feature=related I have used his pedal setup for a long time, but never knew how to use the 3rd pedal that raises strings 1 and 2 a whole tone until recently. This is a really pretty song to learn. I have more information about this tuning and pedal setup on my website at steelc6th.com. I also tabbed out this song for anyone who wants to learn the A7th tuning. I slowed down Basil's rhythm track using a program called "MixCraft" so I could play along easier. A link to the original track is on my web. I like hats and try different one's here and there. I call this my Bill Lawrence hat. I have a BL 710 pickup in my S-10 ShoBud with the white fretboard. Bill's a genius guitar pickup inventor. Here's a video of him played in 2008 at a NAMM show... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHIZMuNhF5s On this particular Fender 400 guitar (which is as old as I am), I have 10 pedals. I actually have Basil's 3rd, 4th and 5th pedals down on 8, 9 and 10 for leg comfort. So I can use either pedals 4 and 5 or 8 and 9 to lower strings 2 and 6, respectively. That makes it a lot easier for me while playing. Pedals 1 and 2 are unchanged. I also used pedal 6 to raise string 1 by itself a whole tone, which I use in the song in a few places. Also, I only lower strings 2 and 4 a half tone, respectively, with pedals 8 and 9 because the pedals are way too tight when pressed together; so I don't lower strings 6 and 8 with pedals 8,9; but I DO lower strings 2 and 6 with pedal 4 (my C6th pedal), and strings 4 and 8 with pedal 5 (My A6th pedal) as Basil does. When I need to press both pedals, that is 4 and 5 together, I press 8 and 9. The pedal is still a bit tight, but not as bad as pressing pedals 4 and 5 (which lowered 4 and 8 also. On my ShoBud, I can lower multiple strings like butter, and it's not a concern; but the pedals are close together and that is more uncomfortable. So each guitar has its pros and cons.
