David:

In Submission #7 Part 4: Masking the Harp: Holes 1-6 and High End   Submission #7 Part 4: Masking the Harp: Holes 1-6 and High End are you and Gary Smith playing with a C harmonica? I'm trying to get that 9 blow, 9 draw, 8 draw, 8 blow, 7 draw, 7 blow, 7 draw, 6draw, 6 blow riff down.

Closest I can come to sounding like I'm playing in your same key is with a C harmonica but I have to keep checking myself because it sounds on mine like I have to start with an 8 blow, when you're saying its a 9 blow. When I take it up to a 9 blow, it's sounding higher than you in the video? So guessing I'm using the wrong key, I'm not doing something correctly, or my harp is out of tune (doubtful)?

Thanks!

-Todd

Good morning Todd. We're

Good morning Todd. We're using a G Harmonica. Usually in the first video of a series we state which harmonica(s) we're using, so in this case that would be "Submission #7 Part 1: Masking the Harp: Holes 1-2" I'm glad you're enjoying the material.
