Re: [Harp-L] Charlie on Pandora... WOW

[Eric Miller <miller.eric.t@xxxxxxxxx>]

The way I do it is grab a harp and draw 2.  If it sounds like the root note
of the backing track, rock on in cross harp(either maj or minor dep on song)

If it sounds too low grab a higher harp, and vice versa.

Some keys (like E) youll eventually be able to call by ear.
