Sonny boy williamson II bye bye bird
If I want to be in tune with sonny's track, and I guess he used 2nd position there (correct me if im wrong please), which key harmonica should I get?
I looked here in the website and other places but there isn't anything conclusive, some playe it on a low D harp, and some on a low C, and some on low F.... I know you can play it on everything but I just want to know what you should get in order to be in tune with the track itself.
Thanks in advance.
On the Chess studio recording plays the tune in second position, using a Low C for most of the track, but goes to a standard C for awhile in the middle (fifth and sixth choruses, right after the vocal), then switches back to the low C.
In the live European versions he uses a Low D on the ones I've heard.
It's been a while since I heard the track, but I think it's a low C.
