Hey Cliff, I play quite a bit of OT on harp in unison with fiddle and here's my advice. If you can play it in first position then do, otherwise play in second...

Hi Cliff, The version of Whiskey that I play starts out like this: 3 4 4 -4 4 4 -4 5 -5 6 -6 6 The B part starts on 7. - means draw and I don't use any bends...
Hi Cliff A couple I know of are by: Tony Eyers on his "Black Mountain Harmonica", and Wailin' Wood on his "Jessie's Jig". Since you fancy the tune, you might...
Hi Cliff Second position isn't any more or less advanced than first. Like others have said, it depends on the tune. Some tunes or parts of tunes may be in a...

I like Over the Waterfall and you got me wanting to play it. Here is what I came up with so far. A part on G harp: 6 -6 -7 -8 7 -7 -6 6 5 -4 6 -6 -7 -8 7 -7 -6...
You've got a nice, simple version of the tune. Very good. Switching harps is the only way to get the one flat note back to its natural state. I generally go...
Cara, How do you do the the overblow for the C natural on Ahokan Farewell? I assume you mean something different from a bent blow note. Just curious....I have...
A melody maker certainly should work. On a D with standard Richter tuning, the C note is the 6 overblow. I am fairly new to overblows and I have no customized...
Thanks, Cara, for the clarification. I am glad that the Golden Mel lends itself to overblows. I think, however, I'll stick to playing Ashokan Farewell in 2nd...
