Hello David. I am confused about which key of harp to use in these examples. Initially it appears to be a G harp, but by example 1.5 my A harp seems to be the one that matches what you are playing. In example 6 you talk about the C harp, but to my ear you are playing an A harp still. Could you please clarify?

Thanks,

Geoff

Hello Geoff. Use your A

Hello Geoff. Use your A Harmonica. Whenever I talk music theory, I reference the C harmonica. For playing though, in this study, use your A harmonica. Sorry for any confusion.
