i tried to play it in 1/4 of the original speed (you can slow down youtube videos nowdays so it's perfect for finding notes for songs you thought were going to fast) and I still can't find his notes on my scx-64. Maybe I'm just **** haha

One of his students was on this forum... I think he stopped by too. Maybe they'll read this. I can't really play chromatic, so I'd sit and go through my regular harps to find the key.

As far as I know, the CX-12 JazzGold only comes in C, so I'm betting C unless he's swapped covers with a black CX-12.

Can't think why he'd do that since the piece he's playing is in C.

He doesn't hit the slide that often, which suggests it's a key without a lot of flats or sharps (if it is a C chromatic) I tried a C, G and F harp and it laid out best on the C and G and seemed to resolve on a D. A peppy D minor? G major? Not sure.

I'm guessing it's a G, sounds like a draw key, and the F position is the easiest one on chrom.
I don't hear it as a C.

I don't think he uses the CX-12 Jazz. I think he has the CX-12 Gold cover on another key of CX-12 black or something like that.

How do you slow down youtube videos? I mean, are we talking some additional software needed or is this a functionality that youtube itself has added to all you tube accounts?

"I don't think he uses the CX-12 Jazz. I think he has the CX-12 Gold cover on another key of CX-12 black or something like that."

Maybe he's hidden a Manji in there and is only using the button to set off the flash bombs.

It's a CX-12 Gold in C. The slide movements are consistent with a C harp, as are some of the chord rips across several holes to arrive at a target note.

Beside the resolution setter theres is a button that says "Normal" press it and choose :) I use the latest Internet Explorer, not chrome nor firefox. It's not available on ALL videos tho', but most have that function :)

@ WinslowYerxa I would have guessed that, but it didn't really sound like it to me.
I certainly trust your ears!
