Hello all,
while this thread is alive could I ask a question re Harmonica Smith.
How is he playing 'Peg.....Heart'.I believe the tunes in C and I've tried playing along on my sole chrom (a 16 hole hohner in C)in first .Is it in first or 3rd using a Bf ?
Its a sublime tune but is quite difficult to get a handle on (in 1st anyway!)IMHO.
Thanks in advance.
Sean.
Hi,
George was definitely using a Bb 270 played in the key of C. Most of the old time chromatic (non blues playing) guys, usually play that tune in 1st position.
