Thursday Minor: Blues Harp Positions
Level: Beginners to Advanced

In this class we will look into the three main positions of blues harp playing: Cross harp is what is known as the 2nd position, and is the most popular position in all blues/folk/and rock n roll; 1st position that is a little more difficult with its demands for strong use of deep draw bends at the low end of the harp. but is nevertheless very effective in being more interesting and less repetitive; and 3rd position that is used when playing minor harp, or when playing the Chromatic, and very interesting to use when the band is in a major tuning.
