Re: [Harp-L] RE: Twelfth position - Does it Appeal to Others Like it Appeals to Me?

Yep. Madcat turned me on to 12th for "Nobody Knows You" a number of years ago, and it lays out GREAT for that tune (Thanks Peter!) :-)

I have since discovered that 12th works fabulously for many I VI II V songs, and for major-sounding blues (without much need for overbends).

I agree with the poster who called 12th the "other 1st position."

I don't use 12th position often, but I love it for certain songs.

Check out my version of "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" on YouTube:

For this cut I played the song in the key of G on a D harp.
