Can anyone list a few songs that are i could play a harmonica© with, in the correct key? Acoustic/bluesy/folk stuff

[jones991]

dunno about key of C, but check out Blues Traveler, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan...

Use it for songs played on the guitar in the Key of G. Just find some songs you know in that Key and play along with your C harp.

I can't think of any tunes in particular because I don't remember the keys of most tunes on the original recordings. I just do them in the key I want to use. But for a simple suggestion just look at some Dylan (or Dylan-type) tunes in the key of C, or rock 'n roll or bluesy tunes in the key of G and the same harmonica will work on both (emphasizing blow-notes on Dylanish and draw-notes on bluesy.). Dylan (and most other pop/folk tunes) uses a harmonica in the same key the tune is done in. Most blues, rock 'n roll and rock uses a harmonica in the IV position of the key of the tune. (C-harmonica for a G-blues, etc.)

You can play songs by Bob Dylan like Blowing in the wind or it aint me babe, those could be converted into G if they arent already... Or like a rolling stone which is in C (I think?) could actually be played in C with the C harmonica, which would give a unique feel.

Most blues, rock 'n roll and rock uses a harmonica in the IV position of the key of the tune. (C-harmonica for a G-blues, etc.)

Is that pretty standard then?(the IV part)

[dadfad]

Yes. In the same way using a minor-pent guitar solo has more of a "rock/blues" feel to it when compared to a major-pent solo (which has more of a "melodic" feel), using a IV-pos key harp will have more of a rock/blues feeling when compared to the tonic-key harp.

don't forget you can play old-timey blues (ex. "nobody knows you") in straight C while you are 6 chord bluesing it,

however, the rule of 4ths is key for your blues / folk / rockin stuff
