Harmonica Playing Overview

The songs and instruction on this website are samples and exerpts from Harmonica Lessons.com. Our "Harmonica Playing Overview" section is an introductory primer on the two most important types of harmonicas, which harmonica to get, and the 1st and 2nd playing positions.

Harmonica Overview Pages:

Diatonic vs. Chromatic Harmonica - A comparison of the two most important and commonly used types of harmonicas.

Which Harmonica to Buy- Choose the right harmonica and get started properly.

1st Position (Straight Harp)- When you play mostly blow notes on your key of "C" harmonica you will be in the key of "C". If you have a diatonic harmonica in the key of "A", your 1st Position playing would then be in the key of "A"...

2nd Position (Cross Harp)- If you want to jam to a song while playing 2nd Position, you must primarily, but not exclusively, play the draw (inhale) notes...

Summary- 1st, 2nd Positions- Learn the difference and always play in the correct key for the song.
