Just looking for some good ones to add to my song list...for example I didn't know until recently that James Cotton uses an E harp in more than a couple songs....what are your favorites? I know a couple of pro players that have said they won't take the stage without Eb packed

Here`s a different look at playing E-flat and A-flat harps.I play harp and also guitar, I tune E-flat, so I use Flat harps most of the time.I think blues guitarists who tune E-flat , do it because the looser tune gives you a wicked bend on the guitar.
Hesitation Blues Eb harp in Gm (5th posoition) Autumn Leaves Eb harp in Gm (5th position) Equinox Eb harp in Cm (4th position) Chitlins Con Carne (Kenny Burell) Ab harp in Cm (5th position)' Afro Blue Ab harp in Fm (4th position) Purple Rain Eb harp in Bb (2d position)
Eb is a workhorse harp

The title cut on our second CD- Nothin' But A Party- I wrote in F so I could play EB and Low Eb on it. It's a mostly overlooked harp. Ab not so much. Not many songs in Bb or Eb that have come our way. ----------
