Hi
I found this study to be very informative but confusing on one level. You mention at the end of the first video to pick up an A harp. then in the next video, while we are looking at the downloaded PDF, we see that the arpeggio example is with a C harp. so the 1 blow on the A harp was a A instead of a C.

Hello Doug, glad you're enjoying the series. Everything I write is in C-Score... so that's using a C Harmonica in 2nd Position, Key of G. When we "talk" theory, it's the same idea... C Harp. This way you can grab any harmonica you want (the harmonicas do the transposing for us, right), but you just have to think in one key. This makes life easy.
