I've been playing harp for 40 years and always struggled with 3rd position until I saw this video. WTF! You made it so easy to understand!! Thanks so much. Now it's time to woodshed.

Thanks dude . . . I thought I was already able to play in 3rd position but now I realise what a lot of notes I SHOULDN't have been playing.

Jason is playing an A harp

i recommend getting a solid two draw bend before you even try three draw. The two draw bend is vital for good cross harp (2nd pos)

important to understand also is that, every half step is a note. the third draw can be bent 1.5 steps, thus you can play 4 distinct notes on the three draw. The two draw can be bent 1 step, thus allowing for 3 possible notes.

Thanks much. This was a bit of a dead zone for me too.
