I reckon we should call 12th position "southpaw crossharp". If crossharp means we turn right on the circle of fifths, and ride the train over to the next adjacent station, then with 12th position instead of going right we turn left (southpaw) and ride it one station in that direction. (Great lesson and good sounds, thank you 🙏)
Man this is great. I was practicing C on a G Marine Band, old one from NY, with 3 semitone draw as 4 note & 2 double draw as 1 note (can't quite get there 😂). Then the 6 note is 1 & 4 draw, 2 is 2 draw/6 blow, and 5 is 1 blow etc. I searched YT & found you right away (already subscribe). I'm playing along lower tonic notes while you go up & it sounds cool.
Beautiful Filip😌 I love this kind of your smooth jazzy blues💙 For me these short demonstrations with a little bit of explanation are the ideal stuff to weave into my playing😊 You are one of my favourite players!
12th position? Holy Moley! So a G for C, eh? I’d wanna call it Reverse Cross, like a boxing move. I will give it a go. I can hear the possibilities. But… You’ve been playing that position for at least more than ten minutes, I can tell. Really sweet phrasing, and your command of the instrument is a beautiful thing. Thank you. Maybe I’ll have that much facility someday.
Hah I had the same thought - southpaw crossharp :) Howard Levy does a video where he explains why it didn't take off for a good long while. (I won't spoil the plot because he explains it from the rocking chair in a good way).

Ah interesting, good idea! It is also called 1st flat.

Thanks for your kind words Heiko!
Dude, you are very good in your instructions and you have a sweet sound. I watch a lot of your chromatic videos but this is the first on diatonic

Thanks for watching! Yes, if you play in C, use a G. Play in D, use an A. This position has a great timbre!

Glad you liked it!
Great demonstration! Is the backing track here on youtube?
very nice Flip
Thanks Tim!
I love it! Would be fantastic in a movie soundtrack.
In 12th jazz blues are you thinking about the changes or just bouncing between C major, C mix and C minor?
Thinking and hearing the chord changes and the melody I am improvising. Not specific major/minor.
great !!! Thanks!!!
Please share F blues scale tabs. Will learn it first. Thanks.
Sweet
Super lesson and playing! What brand of harp are you using here?
Thanks! This is a Suzuki Manji I customized myself. I got this particular G harmonica in 2011, still works great.
Nearly as smoothe as the new haircut. 👍🙂
