Introduction
George Goodman’s Harmonica Cheat Sheets is a combination of four great tools to kick start your harmonica playing.
The Blues Harp Cheat Sheet
This Cheat Sheet provides chords, cross harp key, 12 Bar Blues Progression, and Blues Scale harmonica tabs covering all 12 keys.
Harmonica Chord Cheat Sheet
All major keys or scales consist of 7 notes. Chords can be built upon each of these notes of the scale. So a particular key will have 7 corresponding chords.
The Harmonica Chord Cheat Sheet will show you where the notes are on the harmonica for each of these chords in all 12 keys.
Also use the Harmonica Chord Cheat Sheet to help determine song keys and to aid in transposing songs to new keys.
Pentatonic Scale Cheat Sheet
A vast number of melodies are built off of 5 note scales known as pentatonic scales. There are 2 flavors – major and minor and they occur in a number of different spots on the harmonica.
Circle of Fourths and Fifths
Make sense of playing in positions using the Circle of Fourths and Fifths and learn how to choose the correct key harmonica depending on the key and style of a song.
5 Pack Case of Hohner Special 20s
What do I like about the Special 20s?
Great Sound, Smooth Comb, Responsive to Bending - but not loose, Affordable. I play Special 20s more than any other model.
Martin Acoustic Guitar Strings
If it's been a while since you've changed your strings, you won't believe the difference in the sound. These are some excellent Martin strings. Need I say more? Totally affordable.
Hohner Harmonica Holder
The Hohner Harmonica Neck Holder fits harmonicas up to 7-1/2" long, has a nickel plated finish and fits any neck shape.
I have used a similar holder for over 25 years. This no-nonsense holder will work for you.
