Hey Grant,
The higher key harps have shorter reeds the higher you go, so they're stiffer and require you to have a strong "grip" on the note as you bend. You need a strong and...

It's the 3rd of that key. Not of the "major" or "minor" scale...just of that key. The minor scale or chord would include the b3rd (flat third) and NOT the natural...

Yes, I remember those "tonal centers" exercises from my brief Berkeley studies 100 years ago. Thanks for reminding me.

Hey Steve, mind if I offer my 2 cents? The A section actually starts on the Bb7 for one bar, Eb7 for one bar, then Ab6 for two bars.

That note is just part of the chord (the 3rd of that scale). Unless you are playing a minor chord, that note (the 3rd) will work with any chord.

Hi Dennis,
