Yo C.B., enjoy, enjoy! One way I've really had fun learning 3rd position, (and reaquainting myself with first position as well), has been to make my own compilation cassette tapes, with all the cuts on a tape side in the same harp position. That way you can hear song after song in the position you want to work on (and play a long with). I ended up with two 90 min. cassettes. One has first pos. on side one and third pos.on side two. The second tape has all Chromatic on the first side and all harp soloes on the second. They are perfect for jammin' on the road, and perfect for a short boogie any time of day.
Just a thought, Rod
