[Harp-L] 4th Position

["Rick Dempster" <rick.dempster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,
             My early attempts at A on C included "God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen" which is perfectly suited to that
scale. You can end on a C# note (bend hole 4) so that it ends on a major chord, which is a nifty thing to do.
             Another old chestnut that works well is the old Al Jolson tune 'Anniversary Song" which is taken, I think,
from some old European melody, and modulates from A minor in the verse to C major in the bridge, which demonstrates
practically how the two scales are related.
            This position is not well suited to blues (unless you are going to over-bend) but is good for Celtic and
other ethnic styles.
Cheers,
