Re: [Harp-L] Stevie Wonder Fragile Which Chromo?

[Kent <kmangelos@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm pretty sure he's playing a Super 64 in that clip.  I've seen him in concert playing both a Super 64 and a 280, and I think for many years he favored the 280's but I'm pretty sure it's a Super 64 in that clip, but it's hard for me to tell.  And it definitely sounds like F# minor to me, he sings every note in the F# minor scale.  I think he's playing it on a C chromatic though, given by the number of times he's hitting the slide.

List,
I'm trying to learn more about playing chromatic and I love Stevie Wonder's style. Where can I find more info regarding his playing and particularly what harmonica's he uses.
Thus far the only time I use my chromatic is for blues in dorian mode, either playing in minor or minor over the major.

This one (Fragile) seems to be in F# minor. What is he using and which key is the instrument in?
I have 2 chromatic harmonicas. Both are Hohners. A CBH 2016 in C and a Super Chromonica 270 in G
Thanks in advance,
