Which Chord is it ?

Hi Dave,
I need some clarification.
When you typically talk about the I chord, it is GBD; the IV Chord CEG and the V Chord D,F#, A.
In you lesson on understanding position playing (and the end of L.O.A. 3), you talk about
the I Chord on a C Harmonica and you say it is CEG, and the IV Chord is GBD .
Can you please explain ?
Thank you for your time
Steve
Hello Steve.
"When you typically talk about the I chord, it is GBD; the IV Chord CEG and the V Chord D,F#, A."
Correct. This is your C Harmonica playing in 2nd Position, Key of G. This is our most common position used in the blues.
"The I Chord on a C Harmonica and you say it is CEG, and the IV Chord is GBD ."
That is the C Harmonica playing in 1st Position, Key of C.
