Hey,

That German Seydel website with the "Table of Positions app" that  Phil posted is pretty cool. It has all kinds of workshop instruction on tuning and repairing reedplates, etc.

Jim, yes you did answer it on another discussion I had created.  Then, I decided I'd post the question here, and use this area for 'harp' related info.  I thought, maybe this one was for more experienced players, but realized there's no point in stretching the info over more than 1 area.  Just hope we can get more folks in the group.  Thanks for your answer too!

Phil, I'm pretty sure that Neil crosses a C harp to play in G for Falling From Above. 

I seem to recall answering this question before, but can't find it now.  Didn't there used to be a Harp On A Rack group?

Just a link to a nice little app on the Seydel site.  Choose the key of the harmonica you have, and it will show you the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd position uses - or enter the key of the song, and it will give you the harp 1st, 2nd, and 3rd postion.Table of Positions app.  Pretty handy.

Excellent version of Crossroads Phil.  I like it.

Allright, just wanted to share a video of Adam Gussow doin' "Crossroads Blues".  Check it out.

Hi Phil welcome to the group.

I'm not sure what harp Neil uses on "Falling From Above" but it sure sounds good. Maybe one of the more experienced players here can tell you though.

Glad to have you.

Anybody know what harp Neil Young is using on the DVD acoustic version of "Falling From Above"?  The DVD is part of the Greendale release.  I've been playing "Falling From Above" without the harp, but really love the sound he gets on that harp.  Almost a blues sound, and I can sure 'hear' it being done even more bluesy, though I'd settle for the sound Neil gets. 

I can't get that tone from my little C 10-hole harp.

Thanks for all of the input so far.  Really great info for me, just getting back to using a harmonica, and having a lot of fun with it.
