here is ray doing it with a house band in Tamworth. the tune starts at 8:50. He makes a lot of slips but i think thats cos harps are not chromatic so its not easy to get all the notes. I think a Bb major harp will get you pretty close cos G is the relative minor of Bb and there is a section where the song changes from Gm to Bbmaj but you will have to bend the f up to f# when you go back to the Gm sections. I dont know what harp ray used.

====================

Man this guy has a really great tone going , lots of really great blue noting . Thanks his vibrato is cool and strong . He's been at it a while I can see . When you have been at it a while you can " feel " those half note steps and in time you begin to make a diatonic [ REACH ] and get them . There's a bit of sorting out the best key'd harp for this to happen . Some songs adapt easily into that in the [ Cross Harp ] or as technically termed " 2nd. " position . There several positions for the humble 10 holed diatonic to achieve chromatic results , " Lee Oskar " is one of those guys like myself who does this . The cross harp position is my domain , I love it . Your buddy Ray kicks serious @$$ my respect goes out to him , when you do it right it's like magic .
