[Harp-L] RE: Key of E

["Hellerman, Steven L." <shellerman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lots of tunes are in E, but you'll play them cross in A. But occasionally (not that often, but....) you will use your E harp for the cross of B. The Stones do Jumping Jack Flash in the key of B,and so does most everyone else. Great harp tune, play it cross, of course, your E harp.Also, when the band tunes down half a step, the key might be B and you'll play cross harp in E. 
 
As for playing straight harp, well some of us do play it. And if you ever learn Jimmy Reed style....
