RE: [Harp-L] armonica keys

Peter,
I've been playing guitar for almost 40 years, and only started playing 
harp about 15 months ago.  When you refer to 'cross-harp', do you mean 
that you'll be playing blues?  In my experience, the majority of blues 
songs seem to be in the keys of E, G and A.  Therefore, I would suggest 
that you pick up harps in the keys of A, C and D.

Hi,

 

I've been playing harp for a while, but am only now thinking of hooking
up with a like-minded guitarist.

 

I need to get some new harps, so if I were to buy three, to play
cross-harp, what do you recommend as the best three harmonica keys to
get?

 

Cheers from down-under,

 

Peter Thompson
