Hi Dave,
I'm a little confused regarding the beginner chart mentioned above.
Your chart: Key G, 1st Pos G, 2nd Pos C, 3rd Pos F
My charts : Key G, 1st Pos G, 2nd Pos D, 3rd Pos A

Aren't they supposed to be 5 a part (circle of fifths): G A B C D, D E F G A

Remember, I'm a beginner. How do I send you an attachment?
Gary

Hello Gary. We have the same charts, just reverse in information. My chart on the left in the "Band" key, and to the right is the "Harmonica" you use to play in that key (you and the band play "in" the same key, though which harmonica you play "on" is up to you). Your chart give the same information, but just from the harmonica key first, "G" harmonica in this case. If you need to send an attachment in the future, you can email from this page http://www.bluesharmonica.com/contact_us and then I'll send you my direct email.
