Song - Walk with me ( 1st chorus) - 2 Questions
1) The song begins with a 3 draw on an A harmonica. If one is actually reading the sheet music for a C harmonica - The 3 draw on a C harmonica plays note B which is clear on the sheet music you provide, but on an A harmonica a 3 draw maps out to playing a G# - Not a B, and this leads to my first point of confusion. If you want to play a note of B on an A harmonica you would have to do a 1 draw or a 4 draw, not a 3 draw. Ill probably never get this.
Is the rule of thumb is to always play any given key harmonica according to how the notes map out/would appear on a C harmonica.
2)How do you achieve a 3 blow or draw with tongue blocking - Do you only block the first 2 holes and move your tongue to the left, or do you put your mouth over 3,4,5,and 6 and swing your tongue to the right.
You're correct, you always read the music as if you're playing on a C Harmonica. You will also do all your music theory this way... it works very well to speed up the learning curve.
To play a 3 draw, place your lips over holes 1, 2 and 3, and maybe even a little bit of the wood of the comb to the left of hole 1. You block holes 1 and 2 with your tongue.
