I'm having trouble with the harp part at the instrumental break after the second verse. I know the primary harp is E, but is there a different harp used in this quick section? Any help would be appreciated.... thanks

If you are referring to the song You dont know how it feels I believe he is using an A harp in cross harp. See if it works for you.

Yes he's asking about You Don't Know.

E is used only for the head (1st position - mostly blow notes) then you play A (2nd) harp until the outro - then it's back to E harp.

Great tune - i sat in with a band a few months back & played it - nice diversion from my usual blues.

Have fun with it and make sure you NAIL that head!
