Introduce Yourself!

@Horn welcome to the forum! So glad you’re back playing again, that the vids have helped, and that you’ve joined us here in the forum. I can’t quite understand your question. Can you please try and ask it in a different way?

Have you seen this? How to Bend Harmonica – For Beginners

@Piglet - sweeeeet. Congrats on the best musical decision you coulda made and I hope you love your birthday present!

@Bruce_Higgison welcome to the forum my friend. Great to have you. How long have you been playing for?

@AllenJP WOO HOO! Stoked man. Can’t wait to hear how it continues to go for you. Congrats on your decision to get serious with it.

@Jav Welcome to the forum! You are going to eventually want to get all the keys your friends have recommended.

I’m not sure if you’re talking about chords or positions. Positions are confusing at the beginning and take time to understand. But the gist of it is:

1st position means using a C harmonica to play a song in the key of C

2nd position means using a C harmonica to play a song in the key of G.

The root chord for 1st position is 123 (or blowing anywhere on the harmonica) and the root chord for 2nd position is -234 (but -1 is also in the chord.)

To get a little more insight on 1st vs 2nd positions: What the Heck is a Harmonica Position? (And WHY do I need to know?)

Hope that helps?
