Re: [Harp-L] harps used in song??

Hi Tom

You've got the harps and positions exactly! The key things about the 1st 
position section is the tone shaping (by mouth cavity changes) and the 
staccato-funk attack. I know it's a cliche, but it takes practice. I was a 
100% U-blocker at the time this came out and it felt so natural that in my 
little world-view I was sure that that was the key to playing it like Magic 
Dick <g>. The solo itself is pretty much "classic" Chicago-style 1st 
position riffing. It's just that Magic Dick's approach is especially bold 
and greasy - with a precisely worked out arrangement that shines a giant 
spotlight on his work. I'd be glad to help out with more details, if I can.

Cheers,
Staggerin' Jim
