  • @LennonDylanBruce fun fact: he has that string tuned to B flat

  • @gr00vy2000

    Tried it.. seems to be G. :)

  • @LennonDylanBruce im pretty sure its a Martin he's playing. not sure of the model.

  • What guitar is he playing?  I can't tell.

  • Most country/rock/pop harp stuff is played in "second position", that is the song has one more cross symbol (or one less flat symbol for that matter) than the harp. He's playing in G (actually Em), so second position would be a C harp. I wasn't able to recreate the melody with my C harp (but I have little to no harp experience), so he might be playing in first position (G harp).
