Harmonic Minor, labeled in its 1st position key is good for intense, dramatic, Eastern kind of melodies and tonalities.

Hava Nagila Jewish folk song
6 6 -7 -6 6 -7 -7
-8 7 -7 7 7
8 -8 7 -7 -6 -7 -6 6

What keys would you use in the minor tunings as I was looking at these today. They also do a melody maker but I'm not sure what the difference to a std is. Great videos as always. Thanks

Right on Jonathon! The Harmonic Minor tunings I don't use very often, but they're a lot of fun! I think Em and Am are probably the most common minor keys? The Natural Minor's are labeled in 2nd position and play just like regular cross-harp, but sound minor. Melody Maker is like also labeled in 2nd position and play just like regular cross-harp except the 3 is a whole step higher (the major 2nd in cross harp) and the -5 is a half-step higher (major 7th in cross harp.) This tuning is also called country tuning.
