If blues is generally played in 2nd position, what is a good position to get
a country sound?

2nd position. Only difference is the beat. Allen

And the flattened 7. I retuned some harps for playing c&w stuff, works
great. Just raise the 5 draw and 9 draw a semitone, and that's all.

I was going to suggest the major 7th tuned harps too...
Hey Ralf, nice to see you around!

Hey Bruce,

how are ya doin'?

Yes, I'm back - I didn't have much time for a long time, and nothing
happened here, no big discussions and such...

Btw, I uploaded a little clip in Youtube, just search for "dl5mhk", i'm
playing with a piano player and a guitar player, testing a nice little tube
amp. That's a clone of the Fender Tweed Champ, built in China, and this
thing is incredible cheap...about US$ 100, and it sounds killer to me.

Seeya,
Ralf

Hi Allen,

naaa, I don't think it's really good, but nevetherless thanks! :-)

That was an evening i didn't find the right balance to the band,
and we played slow blues nearly the whole evening - it didn't really swing.
Some days are better, some are worse...that's life!
But i really like that little tube amp, it's easy to carry, and for 10 watts
it is incredible loud. I had the volume knob only a very little bit opened,
and it was already too much...

Seeya,
Ralf

5draw is tuned sharp.
