I sat down at the piano and banged out some rudimentary chords and started playing along in 1st position. I tend to neglect 1st position, for some reason thinking it's too primitive or something. No more. It's really nice for pop chord changes. I've got an A F#min7 B min7 E E7-simple chords. Pick up the harp, blow a little melody, hit the 1,4 octave draw on the B min. Pretty.
I think I'll play the chorus in A 2nd position. Then I'll bang out a bridge, change keys to B minor and play in 3rd position. Or use the D harp and play in 1st position which magically harmonizes with the B minor scale...
Harp is a cool instrument.
