Hi Harpers,I've been looking at Adams lessons 18,19&20 on the 12 bar blues progression,could someone remind me which holes i need to hit to produce the 1,4&5 chords,i know that 2 draw will give me the 1 chord (tonic),but what gives me the 4 chord(subdominant)or the 5 chord (dominant).Is there a lesson on you tube or in the store that deals with this?

just remember SCALES ([C]DE[F][G]ABC)([F]GA[B][C]DEF). and count from the first number up.

and Remember the notes on your harp. If you need more info on THEORY, go to this site, great stuff

Thanx for the help folks,the thing is i was really tired out when i posted this question and went to bed early only to wake up at 3am with the voice in my head saying "it's 2 draw, 4 blow, 4 draw,you idiot",turns out i already knew,i just did'nt know that i knew!
