hello,
havn't played one for a while, but was planning on using a blues harp for voodoo chile, at a small acoustic gig i`ve got lined up.
my question is...
if voodoo chile is in the key of G on a standard E tuned guitar,
and we`re gonna down tune the guitars to C (4 semitones down,
that puts the song in the key of D#. i think?
which key harp do i need to play along with the D#?
is it G#?
or have i got it all wrong?
cheers.

For second position playing, choose the 4th of the scale of the key. So D# would be played in G#. For Hendrix tunes you only need to tune down a half step.

nice one,
gonna try for an approximation of the solo, do you think second position would work best?
