I have been using this position quite a bit lately.  It's great for Jazz, 
Blues, and country.  I have been using it in a more jazzy/popish context 
though.  To use it effectively you need to be able use the overblows. OB6 
for the 4th and OB4 for the b7...  


Check Out Levy's stuff.  Alot of it is 12th/1st flat position.  Listen to 
Celebrate Me Home on That Kenny Loggin's CD Live from the Redwood forest 
of something...
