Hello everyone,
For adding a G in the lower register in C6th I see two possible solutions: Raising string 9 from F to G or lowering string 8 from A to G.
What do You think of the use of this change and which solution would You prefer and why? Does anybody has this change? And to which pedal / lever and combination with other pulls would You add it?

Re: Low G on C6
I raise string 9 to G on my furthest pedal to the left (I’ve got 7 on C6). next to that, I raise string 10 to D. that is the only change on either pedal and I use them both a pretty good amount, together and separately.

Re: Low G on C6
I have the change on the 8th pedal because I use the common boo-wah pedal at the 4th position.
There's more about this, but basically I'm lowering the 8th string A to G and the 9th string F to E so along with the C notes, there's a major triad in the lower register. Works well for power chords or wherever you might want a major chord there.
Low strings in melody are not particularly musical some say, but one can use parts or just a couple strings for some interesting sounds. Try Green Onions rhythm changes with a rotary program.
