Re: [Harp-L] 4th position

[Mike Fugazzi <mfugazzi67@xxxxxxxxx>]

I play very little 4th.  It lets me use my 1st pos chops when I do.  I like using it for Natural Minor...so pretty much as a mode.  I will ob the 4 blow or play the 8 blow bend too.  I haven't found much use for it in blues.  However, there are a lot of key changes in songs that take me to 4th, so it is good to have the licks there.

"Music should be healing; music should uplift the soul; music should inspire. There is no better way of getting closer to God, of rising higher towards the spirit, of attaining spiritual perfection than music, if only it is rightly understood."
-Hazrat Inayat Khan
 
"Music is like a river or stream that has come down to us through time, bringing nurture to man's soul.  From the past masters, this music flowed to my father and through him to me.  I want to keep this stream flowing.  I don't want it to die.  It must spread all over the world."
-Ali Akbar Khan

Michael,

What is it that you (and a number of other) find so attractive about
4th
position? I find it annoying because the tonic is a bend, and not a
particularly pretty one to sustain.
