Re: [Harp-L] harp key???

[Phyllis731@xxxxxxx]

I need to revise what I said here...sorry.  1/2 step down on guitar  would 
be 1/2 step down on harp to play in 2nd position.  So if playing song  in G, 
harp would be B, which is 1/2 step down from C.

If he is  exactly tuned a 1/2 step down on his guitar, then he would have 
to 
use a  harp that is either flat or sharp.  So if playing song in key of G,  
 
harp would have to be either Csharp or D flat.  He'd be much better  off  
using a capo on his guitar.

A buddy  of mine plays accoustic guitar and I taught him  to play a little 
harp on a  neck rack.  Recently he down tuned  his guitar a half step for 
his 
act,  but now finds nothing works in  second position.  Is there another  
position which might work  for him?  I donât know enough about theory to  
figure 
this one  out.  Can anyone help? 
Many   Thx
