McCoy playing chromatic
I've always wondered if Charlie McCoy was much of a chromatic player.
>From what I can tell on his version of "Fingertips," he is quite
accomplished on chromatic harp. He is very good with those fast trills
with the slide and has a beautiful unique tone. On "Fingertips," I think
there are some passages where he switches to diatonic and plays parts of
"Orange Blossom Special" and "Jackson" to the chord changes. This is a
technically brilliant performance. It's on _Another Side of Charlie
McCoy_, a Danish import CD. Another track, "She Knows How to Treat Me
Right," features first some fine Jimmy Reed-style high-end stuff, and later
we can hear adept cross-harp playing. He is playing diatonic on this cut.
