From: Norbert Brunhuber
Subject: C&W flavor.


I've got to play on and solo in a new song for an upcoming show called
"Get Drunk & Screw" by Jimmy Buffet. Ok, ok, not the most flattering
song, but please try to get by it.

Anyway, it is a country and western song and I was wondering if anyone
out there could give me some ideas to get a good C&W flavor. I know
already that I should use 5 draw (because its too flat by one semitone).
I also read in a book that a typical C&W scale based on C major is:

G A B D E G

Finally I think I read somewhere that C&W harp generally keeps the bending
and vibrato to a minimum. Can anyone out there help me out? What
about chording? Please hurry I could use this info by Wednesday. Thanks.
