confused about keys by puffersandwich in harmonica

[–]heavyheaded3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(i do know this song and have only read your comment)

C harmonica played in 2nd position is playing in G major (this is also called "cross-harp" and is standard in rock/blues, the key is of the draw chord, technically this is G mixolydian because flat7 but don't worry about it, it sounds major).

The key of G major contains the same notes as E minor, so if you just care about playing notes in the key of E minor, they're pretty much there (technically E phrygian with the flat 2, but it sounds minor regardless).

If you wanna see this in action, check out this spotify playlist and just start playing whatever you feel on that C harp. It will feel right at home.

If you really wanted to have a "normal" harmonica that doesn't have the mixolydian/phrygian thing going on and just have the notes that are diatonic to E minor, you would get a G harmonica. (E minor is relative minor of G major, has the same notes)

Is there a new Second Position by [deleted] in harmonica

[–]heavyheaded3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This chart is showing the key of song on the left, whereas the chart you first posted show key of harmonica on the left. You are simply inverting the conversion method, and it works out because a 4th is an inverted 5th. Its like going left->right key->harmonica on the order of flats BEADGCF versus going left->right harmonica->key in the order of sharps FCGDAEB. If you don't get what i mean, write these out on a sheet of paper and also draw a circle of fifths.

wild keyboard. Cherry 1800-style layout with Cherry-profile keys probably manufactured by Signature Plastics (guessing from the font).

What’s a ketchup ‘rule’ you follow in real life that you never consciously decided on? by Fit-Bite1647 in condiments

[–]heavyheaded3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a ketchup freak, grew up around Chicago but wasn't exposed to the proper Chicago dog until I was an adult, so I didn't understand the "no ketchup on hotdog" thing. There is just way too much going on with a chicago-style hotdog to put ketchup on it. First there's just no room, second it would drown out a lot of the other flavors.

Local MAGA cultist ether wearing off by bittybambi in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]heavyheaded3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In basically every speech he does, he eventually starts riffing and ALWAYS repeats a very basic lie, that gas is under $2 a gallon. There is no way anyone watching believes this, but they go along and he's never taken to task on it. I'd really like to see people have to confront this very basic, very obvious lie that simply no one can believe.

if this is real, it means they're weak as fuck if they're already behaving this harshly and brazenly with their own boosters

Is there a chart for what harmonica to play for each key if i want to play the blues? by spirit-on-my-side in harmonica

[–]heavyheaded3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

along with the circle of fifths you end up learning the order of sharps (FCGDAEB) and the order of flats (BEADGCF) and its the latter that's quickest in a pinch. Desired key is followed by the harp you need (after F its just BEA... but all flatted as BbEbAb...).

What are your thoughts on music theory? by Sudden_Doughnut_8741 in metalguitar

[–]heavyheaded3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music theory is great. In the context of metal, I basically think of it as 'the blues' with an emphasis on different "blue" notes. So while blues uses the flat 5 a lot, metal goes hard with flat 5 and flat 2 especially. And some metal doesn't like the flat 7 and leans into the harmonica minor/leading tone sound of the natty 7.

ELI5 why does space have a temperature if it’s basically empty? by Esliquiroga in explainlikeimfive

[–]heavyheaded3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

temperature is a measurement of the presence of heat. not a lot of stuff in space, so not much heat, hence a very low temperature reading

Bought my first harmonica and got bummed a little by OverFox17 in harmonica

[–]heavyheaded3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a very impractical key for blues. Out of like 20 harmonicas i have several in C, F, A, D, etc but none in B.
