This song is a study in both minor blues and fifth position. This 5-P Blues Jr is a little shorter and easier version of another study song (Most Advanced) called “5-P Blues.” It’s similar to playing the major pentatonic scale in cross harp, but instead of the home root note resolving on the 2-inhale, this position resolves on the 2-exhale. It is very minor blues friendly since you are using the “D” blues scale, but you do have to watch that 5-hole inhale which only works over the V chord. This is also a great throat tremolo workout. Fifth position was used in recordings made by Eddie Mapp and William McCoy in the 1920s predating the earliest third position recording by twenty years.
