Re: [Harp-L] 12th position

[Winslow Yerxa <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Nice position, eh? Twelfth has a lot to offer but tends to be
overlooked in the blues world because its default notes are major
(although the blues "flat five" is built in). Works great for a lot of
major stuff, though.

One great use of 12th that Jason Ricci fans will recognize: the ballad
Sonja.

Nice chordal lick in 12th:

4B 4D 5D 6D 7B 8D 9D 10D 10B

Now play it backwards.

You can also start it in Hole 1 if you have good bending command in
Holes 2 and 3:

1B 1C 2Dbb 3Dbb 4B etc.
