[Harp-L] Re: 4th position

[Larry Marks <larry.marks@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, John. I am trying to learn more about why people use the 
positions I rarely use. Pointing to a specific Dylan tune is very 
enlightening. I use 1st, 2nd, 5th and 10th regularly (mostly 2nd), but 
very little else. As a result of this discussion, I practiced for an 
hour in 3rd this evening. Perhaps I will try to meet 4th for a while 
next week.

Anyone else got any other positions I should try? And no cheap-shot sex 
jokes!


Best,
