Re: [Harp-L] POSITION???




All I can say is WOW! Both for the solo, and for Winslow harmonica forensics on position and tuning. That is one awesome solo! My hat's off to Wade for that one. 



Back to the woodshed......

It's a stock tuned harmonica, played in first position. 

You can hear from his chording that no reeds have been retuned. 

He's bending Draw 1, Draw 3 (down 3 semitones), Draw 6 and also playing overblow 6 to get a sort of middle-eastern/gypsy sounding scale.

I have my own ideas about this rendition.ÂÂÂBUT..I'd like to hear if anyone else can determine if he is playing a "stock" instrument...or if there are retuned reeds..or if he is working primarily in second position...etc..etc... 

 

Thanks,
