Tuition for those new to PSG

I am currently trying to assist a young man in the deep south who is taking up PSG at the age of 85 Years.
He is an ex plank player who wants to do pedals and has asked me for chord charts etc.

There is no point in providing him with loads of crap he'll never get his head around so I have tried to lay out the moves as we would teach the newbies at the SSGW.

I hope they make sense, I'm sure you'll tell me if they don't!

They are :

Basic tuning chart with our common string groups

The 1/4/5 chord sequence showing the positions we use to get E then A then B and back to E

Then the use of the B pedal with the Eb lower lever to get the same 1/4/5 chord sequence.

Since I'm often asked about this I've put these together and thought they should be on here if needed.

Thank you very much for these chord charts. As a newbie myself these make sense, but could you answer this silly question of mine: in Day set up, the knee levers don't change correct? I am now familiar with the CBA order of the pedals, but want to ensure I can confidently follow the charts for the levers. Thanks! :D

Knees are reversed so with P2 use LKL (not LKR) on a CBA setup :D
