Re: [Harp-L] what position/tuning to play this song

yep, I can hit all 1/2 step bends on 3D.

Sorry if these questions are dumb, I've only been playing exactly 13
months, and 10 of those months were 100% 2nd position.  I literally just
learned Summertime in 3pos 3 months ago as my first foray into 3pos.

Thanks for the help.
