Re: [Harp-L] Aice in Chains (Positions)

[BiscuitBoy714@xxxxxxx]

Hey Blake, Rooster starts out in F  sharp diminished, devastated, 5th, or 
quart, or some such. I'd say a B harp for  second, what would be 3rd, an A? I 
still don't get how to figure anything but  1st and 2nd. Also, something I've 
always wanted to ask but couldn't figure out  how to do it without sounding like 
either a wise a&^, or a dumb a*&, you  pick, why play in 3rd position when you 
could just switch harps and play in 2nd?  The only reason I can see to play 
in those "OTHER" positions is because the song  switches to that different key 
for a period of time enough to justify switching  positions. Seems like I play 
everything in 2nd unless I'm playing with a rack  and then I play in 1st a 
lot. I know that I can play in those other positions  somewhat, I just haven't 
gotten good enough or found the right song to force me  there to learn it right 
I guess. Should have made it to SPAH, HUH?

That  "Rooster" song is perfect for some bad-ass 3rd position stuff, not that
it  has any harp on it originally.  I'd never really thought of it  before,
but how it  could resolve so strongly on that 1-4 draw  octave...mmmmm
