R: [Harp-L] positions ??

["Riccardo Grosso - RGBand" <riccardogrosso@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes and no. I think that's a question that every harp player asked himself
at least a time. It is easier change the harp and play the second position
if you want to use the cross harp and the notes that you can play on that
every time, but if you want to play something different (even if you are
doing that in a standard blues) you can change the harp and use other
positions. Using other position than the second allow you to use different
notes, different scale and you can obtain some really cool licks. It's your
choice when use another position, where use it and MOST IMPORTANT WHY use
it. I like to switch the position, but only for the final result that I can
have playing in 3rd, 4th or 5th, not because everybody have to see how cool
I am because of changing position on harp. PEACE!

one thing i never realy understood was when you look on a harmonica position

ON ONE HARP ? THE WAT I WAS TOUGHT BY JR WELLS ,   COTTON AND OTHERS IS
CHANGE 
YOUR HARP.TO THE KEY OF THE SONG.ie c 1st   f 2nd   Bb 3rd eb 4th   ect.
isnt 
easer to change harps rather than do alot of scales on one harp ??
