Grab your C Harmonica again and play the C Major Scale from 4+ (C) to 7+ (C). This is the home scale for 1st Position. Now grab your E-flat harmonica and play the same scale, but starting from 3" and ending on 6. You're now playing in 4th Position, specifically the C Minor Scale. Note that all of the pitches are the same, except for the 3rd, 6th and 7th notes of the scale... they're lower, or minor sounding. This is the natural sound of 4th Position.
