A C harmonica is the first one you need to follow along with the lessons on the site. I often play a Hohner Special 20 Harmonica in the key of C through a Shure Green Bullet microphone Model 5200 and Fender Super Champ amplifier

Guitar Chords, Strumming and Harmonica Tabs
Intro
Dead Flowers uses 3 chords and a simple rhythm. I've added the harmonica for you.
00:20 - Guitar
The three chords in the song are D, A and G. Their order gets changed around depending on whether we're playing the verse or the chorus.
You can use a single strumming pattern throughout. It goes like this:
1 2 & & 4 &

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.
Love it! Thanks so much for this one George – the simpler ones somehow seem to outshine the more complex ones sometimes, don’t they? :o)
I really like it when you put the harmonica tabs on the screen in the video when doing the song. good job
