Here is the other way to easily control whether you're playing bluesy or light in 2nd Position. The 3 (B on the C Harmonica) is light and the 3' (Bb) is bluesy. So... if you want your licks to sound bluesy, choose the 3' over the 3. If you want your licks to sound light, use 3 over the 3'.
The ability to play the 3' at ANY SPEED and in ANY DIRECTION (ascending or descending) is paramount for the harmonica player.
