Now that you know the chord progression it's a good idea to practice your arpeggios to the progression. Listed below are the three chords, an example of where you can most easily play those notes on the harmonica, and their actual pitches. I've listed up to the flat-7th, though keep in mind that the flat-7th is not always appropriate (refer to past posts on when and why the flat-7th can sound good or bad). It's of course a good idea to try these notes across the entire ranage of the harmonica, but these will get you started.

I7 = 2 3 4 5 (G B D F) continue reading...
