If I recall correctly, most of the licks in this song were played against the IV
chord so Brian played cross harp relative to the IV chord which would mean that
to play against the tonic he would have to play 3rd position which as far as I
know, Brian never did. He probably used a 2nd harp to play cross harp against the
tonic. It has been a long time since I played along with this song so I could be
wrong. As I am writing this I am becoming less sure of my response and I don't
have the recording so could someone who knows chime in?
