What key of harmonica do I need to play with a guitar song in E?
"Roadhouse Blues" by the Doors is what I am trying to play. Do I
especially or specifically need a "blues" harp for playing blues?
Also, is there a site you can point me to that has a list of key to key
conversions (right word?)

Thanks

Roadhouse Blues is a blues song,I assume, so you need a
harmonica(diatonic) in the key of A.

Hi Harpman
Thanks for the info. If you are not familiar with the song here is a YouTube
link to the original studio recording. Lots of harmonica.
