Hello morganestela. You can

Hello morganestela.

You can play the G harmonica in the same was as you do the A harmonica. Each harmonica is a direct transposition of the other. In other words, what you play on one key of harmonica, you can play on any other key of harmonica, it will just sound lower or higher, depending on the key.

The beginning studies on the website use the A harmonica. If you would like to learn, I recommend you purchase an A harmonica (there are twelve keys of harmonica. I chose the A harmonica, since it is the most common key of harmonica used in the blues). If you don't wish to purchase another key of harmonica, then listen to my example and then pause the video/recording and then try to emulate what you hear.
