I have a C will this melody work fine on the same holes?

[pazzmanmusic]

@C0ntr0ly0urm1nd yes :) will sound a little higher pitch, but same idea...

[manchapan22]

im hoping i can go purchase one soon, i am a bass player but i want something portable to always have with me (especially at school) i plan on using your videos as a teaching tool, so thank you! could someone recommend an inexpensive, and good harmonica type? i hear there are different ones, which will give me the most variety or which is more commonly used?

[pazzmanmusic]

@manchapan22 good ones are Honer special 20, Lee Oskar, and Bushman... I am working on making a new website to have all the videos, and other useful tools in one spot... still creating it now, but over the next coupla months, make sure to check 6ixweeksharmonica

This may be a dumb question but.... How do you know if you have an A harmonica, C Harmonica, ect? Whats the difference? And how many are there? Whats the best one?

[pazzmanmusic]

@Tyler3594 there are different "Keys" for Diatonic harmonicas. (the other major kind is chromatic, with a button).. You get "chords" by hitting 3ish notes at once, and the way they're set up, you get more "chords" for playing along with a guitar song in "E" with an "A" harmonica. Look up 'cross' harp, or playing in different positions. There are 12 main keys, but other special keys as well.

[Stillwater900]

Found a Hohner Chromonica III, goes up to 16 and has the slide thing that makes lowers it an octave. Im guessing its a pretty nice one to learn on eh??

I dated an art major, she also used to draw, draw, then blow
