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.
Let's learn some great riffs and melodies on harmonica.
Classic rock guitar riffs are a great source for inspiration. These often incorporate Blues scale riffs that transcribe perfectly to harmonica.
There's also great riffs and melodies recorded for harmonica.

Video Intro
Today we're going to look at an old Supertramp classic, Take the Long Way Home and work on the harmonica part.
We'll pick out the harmonica we need for this and go through the tabs on it.
Take the Long Way Home is in the key of C and we're going to play it in second position. So the first thing you need is an F harmonica which when played in second position makes the C chord down on draw 234.
