this riff is repeated 3x in the song. He's playing a high G harp I think in 2nd position. I cant figure out if this particular note is an overblow or a CT harp. The note is at 6.5 seconds in, 1:29, and 3:05.5. Any help breaking this down?

Are sure it's not a D harp?

The tune is in A so if it's a G harp it would be 3rd position, not 2nd.

THAT would explain why I couldnt figure it out! When I heard it on the radio my instict told me that was the 6 hole draw. I thought the riff started on 1d on a high G. So that fits on a D harp. Now I just need to put it together.

It is a D harp. I believe he bends the 6D and immediately walks down the blues scale or something close to it.
