He KNOWS what he's talkin about: "All dolled up in gabardine, last fashion/flashin leader, pure 19, Queen of the Water, Queen of the old Main Drag." Brings me to tears.

It’s “All dolled up in Gabardine. The lash flashing Lita of pier 19”. I sang it in my old band.

Such a talented man, as someone who has tried to get into playing harmonica, let me tell you, it's not easy.

I like how he lets the low E string just ring no matter the chord.

Arcihac, the song "Down By the Water" by The Decemberists was nominated for Best Rock Song at the Grammys in 2012, covering releases from 2011. Foo fighters won that award.

+Austin Winston Ah, my bad, the Grammys attributed it to Colin Meloy instead of the band, so it didn't come up when I searched.

That's hysterical - not just what you said, but that you would think ANYONE, in THIS day and age, would know what you were talking about. I know "who" you're talking about - and yes, I agree, he DOES look like Benny Hill!

as it should be! one of the most enjoyable things, that is. check out pistol by dustin kensrue. very brief harmonica and guitar parts, though used to perfection. a very underappreciated song.

Most country/rock/pop harp stuff is played in "second position", that is the song has one more cross symbol (or one less flat symbol for that matter) than the harp. He's playing in G (actually Em), so second position would be a C harp. I wasn't able to recreate the melody with my C harp (but I have little to no harp experience), so he might be playing in first position (G harp).

@nicholasrichardson2330 5 жыл бұрын

It is definitely a G harp that he is playing, which makes sense as Em is the relative minor to G. Your C harp would work if the song were being played in Am.

Most wind instruments tend to be in C, as it's the most popular. I think that's the safest bet.
