Re: [Harp-L] Fourth Position Harmonic Minor

El Condor Pasa uses both harmonic and natural minor. And the second strain is in the relative major.

John Lennon's "Girl" (Rubber Soul album) also uses harmonic minor coupled with relative major.

Lately, I've been getting into Fourth Position for playing some natural minor key jazz material like "Equinox" which is essentially a minor blues. Just for variety,  i've also starting using Fourth to play some natural minor material I'd perviously been playing in Fifth.

As i get more and more comfortable using Fourth Position regularly it dawned on me that  I can also get the harmonic minor scale in two registers by playing 3D*** and 6D* for the major seventh.

Question:  Does anyone know of any harmonica friendly (I don't OB)  harmonic minor tunes I could fool around with for practice playing harmonic minor in Fourth?
