[Harp-L] Red Rocking chair

[Trip Henderson <trip.tunes@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are a few versions of that tune but based on the chords you're using
I'd do it 5th position, where your root is the 2 blow or E note. I play
many of the minor tunes we do in 5th, sometimes on a country tuned model, a
good example of that is on the song Wayfaring Stranger - works great!

Hi all,
With the bluegrass discussions I would like to ask the following
question.... I am trying to learn "Red Rocking Chair" and having a little
trouble, the song is in Em and G .  I also have trouble with Little Sadie
witch is heavy in Em and G . These are old modal tunes, that are  the 1st
and 3rd chords. What do you all think is the best approach , 1st pos with g
harp, or 3rd pos with d harp or?? . Is the fact that it is the 1st and 3rd
chord instead of the 1st and 4th or 5th chord that is messing me up??
Thanks in advance friends
