@DocScotter - I decided to start a new thread on this so it’s more easily searchable since it’s a popular song. I’ve had a lot of fun approaching it in 5th position. It lays out quite nicely.
Also, I was playing in a quartet with a guitar player who wants me to always play something when he solos, and for this song I stacked a G harp under my C harp and was able to play all the chords, and it was actually pretty easy and a lot of fun. Something like this:
Em 236
G -234
Am (G harmonica) -45
Em 236
Bm -34
Bbm (bend the -34 down a little, lol)
Am (G harmonica) -45
C 234
G -234
F -56 (or sometimes I’d just play the -2" single note here)
C 234
D (G Harmonica) -1234
Nice mix of chords and double stops. That’s just the kind of thing that Hendrix would do. One of the things that I thought of getting from Rockin’ Rons was the Duoharp Kwik CHANGE that allows you to hold two harps in a rack. I might give this a try since I already play it using a G harp in 4th position. Also, I consider the Bbm chord a passing tone from Bm to Am and wouldn’t feel the need to include it but it’s cool that you did!
I recently switched from a Dylan style rack that I’ve been using from the start to a Farmer Foot Drum one that someone gave me. I switched because the rack fits in the medium sized Harmo case with zipper closed whereas the Dylan style will only fit if I leave the zipper partially closed. It’s got a powerful magnet and has been working fine so far. I wonder if I could add another magnet on the ventral side…
I forgot to mention that I did order that accessory magnet for the Farmer Food Drums rack to hold two harps. It should be here soon and I have plans to try to learn first position blues as I learn to nail down those blow bends. The second harp will be there for 2nd position blues. It might be fun to fit both into a song. I could also see using it for both 4th and 5th position harp on minor key songs like you are doing for “Little Wing.”
