Just bought a Bluesmaster harp to learn to play (be gentle I'm only a beginner) It came with notation for a C harmonica but mine is in the key of G. So my...
I have learned the scales, a few songs, and can jam along to backing tracks in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd position. I realize I have much more to learn about all three...

Duane, Except for real virtuosos, you won't hear much harmonica being played in positions other than 1,2,and 3. It's fun to check the others out, but your time...

4th position is not any more difficult than 3rd position, and possibly easier than 2nd position (fewer bends), 5th and 6th position should also not be too...

I find 5th position useful, particularly when playing in a minor. Tonic for 5th position is 2 blow (the major third of the key of the harp.) I mostly use 2nd...

I don't know much about any of that. I've been playing harp for 43 years, and have just started using third position this year. Before that it was "straight...
Duane, I stand by what I said before. I'm not disputing those others who have championed the 4th, 5th and 12th positions. They're very cool and useful in their...
