The schnozz

I was a great fan of the late Jimmy Durante and thought it appropriate to mention Him.
His great rendition of "I'm the guy who found the lost chord" is the reason.
No., I have'nt found the lost chord but I did find one which I had'nt previously known about.
If We consider C since it is always the easiest to describe. E9 neck
This chord is a C minor at the eigth fret.
You need to be able to lower Your sixth string with a lever.
Play with the B pedal engaged and the lever which lowers the sixth string and You have the flatted third of the scale.
Playing the various grips gives a minor.If You noodle a bit and play single strings hit the seventh string (second tone of the scale) and You get a nice dark sound, go on to play the ninth string(flat seventh) and also play the tenth string.Work up and down the various notes for a different sound.
I think it is nice.

Sorry
I have just noticed I have posted in the wrong section.
