What software do you use to create the sheet music you provide? I'd like to be able to create my own including the tabulature staff.

Thanks

Hello Badhaircut. I use Finale, but they make a less-expensive version called Smartmusic that works well https://www.makemusic.com/products/

Wrong key

Hello David,

I just bought a new C  Hohner Special 20 harmonica, I searched from several sources recommended for new players starting with the C key. I discovered from your course that using A key. Such a waste. Any suggestions ? Or should I buy another A key? Most of your courses are written in A key.

Hello edwardsim13, welcome to

Hello edwardsim13, welcome to the site. There is an intro lesson for those with only the C Harmonica, and it's found here http://www.bluesharmonica.com/lessons/c_harmonica_intro_lesson. After this lesson, if you decide to continue, you'll need to pick up an A Harmonica (this C Harmonica study will keep you busy for 2-3 months, so thee's no hurry). Best wishes on your studies.
