The D harmonica is required for second position Blues in A.
I often play through a Shure Green Bullet microphone Model 5200 and Fender Super Champ amplifier

George Goodman's Guitar and Harmonica Method

Let's combine the Offbeat Blues Comp with the harmonica.

In this video, I'm going to keep it simple. The harmonica mimics where the kick drum sits and the guitar hits on the snare drum offbeats.

This is a standard 12 Bar Blues in the key of A.

The harmonica is played in second position so you'll need a harmonica in the key of D.

We're going to keep the harmonica simple for this one as well just playing chord shots on beat 1 and 3 &.

When on the I play a chord consisting of notes -2 -3 -4 -5.
When on IV, play 4 5 6.
On V, play -4 -5 -6.

You can play this exercise in any key but here we are playing in the Key of A and using a D harmonica.
