[Harp-L] Re: 5th position

[Steve Merola <srmerola@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Harp-L
I think that my problem is an excellent example of harmonicas being 
played in various positions and for various reasons as well, all within 
the same song. I have been asked to record "Tempted" by Squeeze as a 
harmonica piece. The producer of this recording session heard me 
playing  the chorus on a diatonic in E with the piano player. The song 
was recorded in the key of  B. After listening closer to the convoluted 
verses in it, I asked if I could use my chromatic. He said, "No! I love 
the way it sounds on the harp you played it on".  Since I am a harmonica 
service provider, I must complete the assignment as ordered or someone 
else gets the next call. So far, I'm using a Low E in the first part of 
the verse, the full chorus, and also to "bluesify" the choruses. I also 
use an A harp in the verse, and I've even messed around with a MM tuned 
D, as well as a D harp, also in the verse. I love "Tempted" and if 
anyone is familiar with this amazing pretzel of a song and knows how to 
play it on only 2 harps, I'd truly appreciate the help.
Peace
