Re: [Harp-L] Harp Position, Nina Simone's "Do I Move You"

[Mike Fugazzi <mfugazzi67@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think the clip I heard on YouTube sounded like a D harp...but I'd think the suggestion of a G harp would fit the song much better.  Something about the trills being played that just didn't sound right.  To be honest, the more I listen, the more I don't really like what the harp is adding to the tune.  I am ok with the simple approach, but it doesn't fit the groove.

The band sounds so sultry and then the harp distracts me from the groove.  I try not to be negative in my posts, but I'd like to see someone try playing harp more in the pocket on this one...even if using the same sort of riffs in 2nd position.

The tune's in Am actually. I always play this one in 3rd on a G harp.
Comes off much more moody and sexy and such -- to my ears anyways.

the tune is in A-- sounds like 2nd position on a D harp to me.
