O-key Do-key.
An easy little Chromatic fill-
A pedal down.
Any fret you like- Pick strings one at a time- 5 - 2 - 4 - 1 - 3 - 1 - 4 - then! whilst 4 is still ringing, lower it with E lever then finish on - 5 No blocking- Let the strings all ring out and decay naturally.
Can be extended by mashing Pedal B and picking strings 5 6 8 to finish. sounds pretty in slow songs. especially when up on 12th fret. or! try it using harmonics, very simple and works well.

Heard this many years ago on a George Hamilton 1V track called " Steel Rail Blues " it was used as a 1/2 tone lift, again very nice very easy, all my licks are. Can't remember the the steelies name. No pedals, any position, pick 10, push down A and B pedals, pick 8 and 6 and release both pedals. Do the same again, slide up 1 fret and do the same again. Let the strings ring. Enjoy.
