[Harp-L] When guitar key and Harp key are not in sync

["John F. Potts" <hvyj@xxxxxxx>]

If you play a Bb harp in 5th position it puts you in D minor.  Very  
easy to play D natural minor on a Bb harp in fifth position.

The breath pattern for the minor pentatonic scale in fifth position  
is the same as the breath pattern for the major pentatonic scale in  
second position, just starting on a different note.

easy, oversimplified formula for playing natural minor in fifth  
position:  try to avoid draw 5 and draw 9, don't bend anything but  
draw 3 and don't bend draw 3 more than a whole step.  There's  
actually more to it than just this, but this oversimplified formula  
will get you started and keep you from hitting any really bad notes.
