Hi David, 

I‘m new here—sorry if I missed it, but is there a list or chart somewhere on the site that tells which key harmonicas are needed for each lesson?

 

Sincerely,

Bearcatjoe

Here is the list I put together

Hi Bearcatjoe,

I went through the lessons and put together a list so I could be buying harmonicas as they go on sale.  Here is the list I came up with.  Hopefully, David can confirm or correct any mistakes I might have made.  I should point out that I am only starting on level 3 so there is room for error in my list.

Brian in Tennessee

 

Level 1: A & C(optional)

Level 2: A

Level 3: A

Level 4: A & G & C & D & Bb

Level 5: A & G & C & Bb

Level 6: A & G & C & Bb

Level 7: A & D & C & Bb & Low-F

Level 8: A & G & C (used for Gm) & Low-F

Level 9: A & G & Ab(optonal)

Level 10: Your choice

Thank you Brian. The list

Thank you Brian. The list looks good, but for Level 4, for submissions, the Bb is not needed, and you can choose between the C and D.
