Hey William Clarke Fans, I'm getting better at calculating the harp and position choices of the pros when I listen to their recorded music. W. Clarke's can be a bit of a callenge however. I understand he uses 270 Chros in a variety of keys. Sometimes when he's playing in 3rd position, it's hard to tell for sure if he's playing a chro or a regular ole diatonic. (He dosen't make much obvious use of the slide when he plays chro and for all I know he can bend them farther than I can bend a diatonic). I'm hopin' some of you can give me a hand.
On the Serious Intentions CD, I'm wondering about cuts 4,and 9. I'm guessing on"Going down the highway"he's playing a Bb diatonic, and on "It's been a long time" he's playing a Chro in F.
On "Groove Time" I'm wondering about cuts 3, 6, 10 and 14. I'm guessing on "Complainer's boogie" he's using a Chro in F, on "A good girl is hard to find" he's using a chro in Bb, on "Blowin' the family jewels" he's using a Chro in G, and on "Bedroom Boogie" he's using a Chro in F.
Any confirmation of the above would be greatly appreciated. I'm loving third position chromatic playing lately. I may wanna pick up another 270 soon. Thanks in advance.
