Good advice Roy. I think every band has it's way to communicate and that's why some fellas fit together better than with others but learning to pick up on subtle signals and timing definitely help especially when sitting in.

Best thing I ever learnt is when not to play. Keep your eyes and ears open and feel, sometimes sense what is going on around you in the band. Good musos will open up that space that you can fill, do your thing then back off

Rick, I like your enthusiasm.

I was reading your post the other day, and it reminded me to take another stab at overblows. I was able to produce a noise finally.  I can only do it on the 6 hole of a Bb harp, and it sounds like a cross between a goose and the front brake of an old bicycle, but it's a giant step from not being able to get anything to happen.

I must still be a corn dog! LOL OK, I will get me a video up soon and see what honest feedback I can generate from you all. No worries, I can take the heat!

Not quite, dog.

The example you show below is actually crossharp:Band in G, play harp in C.

Straight harp would be Band in G, play harp in G.

Willey, Erasmo Coco had it right with the Lee Oskar harp I pictured below. Here is the example given me. Lets say the band is playing the key of G. You count up 4 meaning - G A B and then you have your C harp. As said below this step is straight harp but when you get into cross harp the position changes like in my 2nd position C harp which actually works if the band is playing in F.
