How would they know ? Why would they know ? they are brand new. Brand new students in many cases do not know, at this point, what each pedal or K lever pull does. I write TAB, I write it with the A pedal to the outside which is EMMONS. I dare say that we have a few who have been playing for a bit who still are not 100% sure of what each PULL does. We also know this is not the case for every person.

And how the two E levers relate to both Emmons or Day setups. To assume that there is NO difference for a brand new player to decipher Day vs Emmons in Instructional material, we must assume that each new player knows exactly what the A Pedal does and what the C Pedal does at inception. PLAYING DAY SETUP CAUSES NO PROBLEMS WITH INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIAL!!! My guess is not many and for those that did, I'm sure it caused no problems whatsoever. How many Emmons players used the Jeff Newman courses? How many even realised that Jeff played Day setup and all his video demos were using that setup. If you are a Day player, you will go for the one on the right, if you are an Emmons player, you'll go for the left but each of you know which is your A pedal so you don't think need to think opposite.Įven video tutorials shouldn't be a problem. So, assuming you know what your pedals are called and where they are (whichever system you are using, this is essential), if the tab says A pedal, you use your A pedal. No mental gymnastics involved at all.Īs you correctly stated previously, the function of the A and C pedals (and the knee levers) are the same on Day and Emmons and all tab/instructional material simple refers to the pedals by letter. The music is exactly the same but if you are a DAY player you would have to think OPPOSITE while viewing the TAB programs. If there is any differences of note, it would be that a majority of written TAB programs/instructional materials are based on the EMMONS, ABC configuration, rather than the DAY - CBA configuration.

The E raises traditionally go with the A pedal, while the E lowers are the opposite direction. A = C and C = A, same thing with the two E Levers, they would be reversed, opposite, if they happen to both be on the left side. The raise and lowers of the E's would be reversed. The other physical differences would be the two E levers if they are on the same left side. With the DAY setup A and C are reversed in physical location, the Pedals do the exact same thing. The E9th Steel is still 3 Pedals, A, B and C.
