When playing straight harp: To harmonize w/ a chord, usually, you can
play the Tonic note (C in a C chord), but that's not, necessarily, a
melody note. You can also play any of the 3 notes of the chord (as you
stated), just pick one that sounds good w/ the chord.
The melody notes are the notes sung by the singer. When the song you're
singing comes to a break (no words) you can play some of the melody
notes on the harmonica. If you have printed music the song notes
(melody) is separated from the accompaniment so you can see what notes
to play. Otherwise, you'll have to pick out the melody on the harp by
ear.
You can also play chords on the harmonica. For a C harp blow on the 1,
2, 3 holes (and the 4, if you want) to get a C chord. For a Em chord
(EG) blow on the 2,3 holes.

Post by news.la.sbcglobal.nethello
i am also interested about finding a technique to tab a harmonica part in a
song(i play guitar as well).
after you get the chords, do you just mess around and see what the sequence
of notes within that chord to sing?
for e.g. if its a c chord, do you just monkey around c , e , and g to to
make the melody or is there a more formalized way of figuring it out.
thanks in advance

Post by Fred KlingenerI usually start with guitar tabs. They'll at least give you the chords.
Try googling <tab "can't stand me now">.
Hth,
