---Good question. I think JP Pagan is correct... 4th position is 4th whether you're playing the relative minor scale [natural minor], the harmonic minor scale, dorian,etc...or whether you're playing the major scale...so on the C harp, 4th is 4th whether it's A natural minor, A harmonic minor, A dorian minor...or A major. The position # denotes the starting point on the harp...not the scale being played.WVa Bob
