Topic: Doobie Bros - Long Train Running, harp stuff...

I've found the chords to this, but am just wondering if the harmonica on this is "straight" or "cross"?

I'm not a harmonica player but I hear lots of b7s so I would guess he's not playing straight harp.

I do play harmonica and its not uncommon to bend notes when you breath in you can lower notes a half step but you cannot raise them without a chromatic harp and the button on the end. smile

I know but he's not bending the b7s. I can hear him bending the 3s though.
