Re: [Harp-L] New topic added about âintervalsâ (effortless harmonica)

Abner;
           On a piano, without leaving the white keys, you can play in
C major, D minor, E minor, A minor, G major (but with a flat 7th note)
           On a ten hole diatonic harp, you can do all of this without
bending, and, with bends, play some of the black notes too.
          That's making it as simple as I can.

For some reason the page would not load. 
But maybe you guys can help me. I am still so confused about playing
position on a harp. 1st 2nd 3rd and so on. It seems to me that on let
say the C harp with 10 holes your still playing the same holes. 
Ok, I'm still an infant here, I play at Open Mic and jam with real
players on Sunday. They seem to love my sound. But when I read harp
book, see Vid's I'm still lost. 
I have a mentor (Richard Perkins, dame good player ) who  is a member
of harp l and he tries his best but I'm  dumb and thick headed when it
comes to learning. 
Sorry for this weak, interruption.
