I know the feeling, man.

Only you know.  Everybody else thought you were da bomb.

Just be gracious, accept the applause and smile.  And keep the secret.

For the minor stuff, try 4th.  C harp = Am etc.  Years ago there was a local
club within walking distance and the house band was a reggae band.  We had
some really good jams.  I had a blues-tuned chromo I used to dabble with but
on standard diatonic I played some of the minor stuff in 4th pos. but didn't
know that was what it was called back then.  At first I didn't try to do too
much.  "playing within" -  After we got more familiar with each other's
playing it got adventurous.  Great fun.  Thanks for the memories.

I've recently been getting into 4th pos on 3-chord blues and digging it.

PEACE
Scott
Believe in Magic!
