[Harp-L] I shot the sherriff
Hi List I have a question that is probably pretty basic for most of you. My
band is covering I shot The Sherriff, which is in G minor. I know the main
riff is D F G F D C Bb C D C Bb G
Which is easily played on a C harp in 2nd position, so my question is if any
of you any played this tune before, should I then switch to an F harp in 3rd
position for the lead, or should I stay on the C harp. My inclination is
that i should be playing the song in 3rd position, but the riff does not sound
as good on an F harp but unfortunately my 3rd position playing has been pretty
limited to the main scale from the 4 draw to the 8 draw, and I am not
entirely shure of the minor scale from the 1 draw to the 4 draw. So I guess I am
also asking what notes I can play in 3rd position in the 1 draw to the 4 draw
range, if I indeed should play my leads in that way for this song. Thanks for
any help I can get.
