The Radiohead tune. Supposed to be in the key of G and I am told the chord changes are G, B, C, Cm. What harp/position would work best for a player who does not OB?

Sticking with a standard 10 hole i'd go with a D harp in 12th position.
A C harp would be good too but the Cm is up the top of the instrument.
There's probably a bunch of ways to do it but the D would be my likely choice.
I've never heard the tune so am shooting blind in some ways.

I did it with a G when I covered it with my friend. My chops are better than they were then, and I was trying not to step on his vocals or guitar. (I was trying some things with playing of the beat that I'd do tighter now).

I play this song all the time. Blues Traveler also covered it in F (he uses a Bb harp, but also uses the 6ob).

I use a C harp in 2nd. I play a solo over the bridge rather than singing.

I don't play it with the reggae feel or in F, but here is the BT version I was referring to...

Of course, you can always do it as a medly of the song it ripped it's melody off from. (And yes, Radiohead lost the lawsuit).



(Actually, it would be pretty neat to do a cover that way. It looks like a couple bands have done that on YouTube.)
