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

Hohner Harmonica Holder

The Hohner Harmonica Neck Holder fits harmonicas up to 7-1/2" long.

With a long-lasting nickel-plated finish, this harmonica rack is adjustable and fits any neck shape.

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 root note shots on beat 1 and 3 &.
When on the I or A7 chord, play -2.
When on the IV or D7, play 1.
When on the V or E7, play -1.
