Re: [Harp-L] Heart of Gold Neil Young`

You are Correct, he is using a G harp. "Heart of Gold" starts on an Em Chord 
and ends on a G Major Chord. You could call the song Em, then the G harp 
becomes (The relative minor) and would be 4th Position.

If you choose to look at the song in G major then yes, it's first position 
and either way I feel it is the BEST choice for what he wanted on this song.

G=G harp 1st Pos
D=G harp 2nd Pos
A=G harp 3rd Pos
E=G harp 4th Pos


Hope this helps,
Rob Paparozzi

Hi, In the YouTube version of this song he is playing in the key of Em and 
he's using a G harp. Since Em is the relative minor of G does this mean he 
is playing in the first position or straight harp? Why does he choose the 
first position harp? Does it just sound better for this song? I though he 
would use second position. Thanks!
