David's Tip of the Day: Variation Examples on Harmonica Chart, Part 2

David Barrett Admin's picture

What you found yesterday was that the notes were the same between the two positions. This is another way of looking at how positions work... simply find the same notes on any other harmonica and you are playing in a "position." Look at the C harmonica now and figure out how to play this hook in 1st Position.

I7 = 2 2" 2 = C Bb C

IV7 = 4+ 3' 4+ = F Eb F

V7 = 4 4+ 4 = G F G

Or on your Bb Harmonica in 3rd Position...

I7 = 4 4+ 4 = C Bb C

IV7 = 6+ 5 6+ = F Eb F

V7 = 6 6+ 6 = G F G
