Re: [Harp-L] 5th position

[IcemanLE@xxxxxxx]

musically speaking, 5th position has a flatted 6th "built in", so songs  
written in this mode are easier to play.
 
harmonically, the notes you bend fall in a different area of the mode, so  
expressiveness has alternate roads to travel.

usually play 3rd position. Are there advantages to  5th? Does it facilitate
certain  styles?
