Thanks Dan. Is the 'object of the exercise' to achieve a particular 'effect',or to make one harp 'fit in other keys ? What is the ' benefit/effect of 4th position ? Regards,Greg.
@Gregparkerblues - Good question. I should clarify my purpose for the video. Please refer to the updated description for the full explanation. The short answer is that each position has its own distinct advantages/disadvantages and its own "flavor". Some are better suited for certain songs than others.
@DanRidgeway I had a look at Modern Guitar Forum.Thanks,again.. I can play 2nd position,in jams,but like to 'work out' what to do on other positions,in rehearsals.I often end up 'winging it',without being sure of myself,
on an F harp,when doing Am blues.(mostly,happy with result.). Do you know a good lesson ? Regards,Greg.
Bravo!!!

@Gregparkerblues The late Chris Michalek has some videos on positions and modes.
The scenario that you just described (Am song using an F harp would put you in 5th position)
G harp = 3rd, C harp = 4th, F harp = 5th. 2 blow, 5blow and 8 blow are your root notes in 5th position.
