A little clarification, I'm just lookin for confirmation on the keys, I did a little homework on em just wanted to be sure. My methodology: On the canned Heat tune researched it online then whipped out a G harp and played along with the harp part, sounded right. On the magic slim tune found it on choriify and it looked like that was the tonal center of the tune, didn't try a harp to it. On the susan tedeschi cover of hound dog, coudln't find anything on her version, but a G harp sounded right on that two note comping at the beginning.

Hey thanks d. So if i want to play that harp part I'm looking at a Low F (assuming I want to play cross harp)?

Honking: F would be correct for 2nd position.
