A diatonic instrument is designed to play in a single tone. You need a different key for each different music that you want to play inch instrument that can play in any key is a chromatic instrument. The diatonic harmonica was the first mass produced by Matthias Hohner 1857. In 1858, he began to ship in the United States. They were designed to play German and European folk music. They are well suited American folk music and country music. The harmonica that I learned to play on summer Hohner Marine Band. This was the basis harmonica ten hole diatonic which was sold in this form since 1920.
The base ten hole diatonic harmonica is designed to play simple songs great keys. The harmony of these songs is based on the tonic and dominant seventh chord a large scale. As they are built on the first note and fifth of the major scale, they are often identified by Roman numerals I and that the agreements V7. Harmony Blues is different. These two agreements main are based on the first and fourth notes of the major scale. In Roman numerals it would be an I and IV agree. So these two agreements could be dominant sevenths. Allows use of the C major scale helps to explain.
The ringtones are a, b, c, d, e, f and g. If you start on the note C, you c, d, e, f, g, a, b, c. This gives you the do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti, do a large scale. Booting another ticket and you need sharps or flats to make a large scale according to the note you start. In the key of C major The V7 I and agreements are C and G7. We assume want to play the blues in the key of G major. The notes are extensive g, a, b, c, d, e, f sharp, g The agreements I and IV would be G or G-7 and C or C7 for the blues. The fifth note of the scale GC and four from these is C. You can see that if we take agreements with a simple song in the key of C major and play them back, using the rope for the I and V I for the Fourth, we have blues in G major.
Now we we need to know the notes in the chords. For many agreements, we note, we begin each note, and others. The formula is 1, 3, 5 for a bargain. Thus, for a C major chord from c, the notes are c, e, g. When you blow into the ten hole diatonic harmonica in the key of C major, the notes are c, e, g, c, e, g, c, e, g, C. In other words when you are blowing into the harmonica, you play a C major chord. From the GA for an agreement of the G7, we have 1, 3, 5, 7. Thus, the notes of the chord of G7 g, b, d, f.. When you blow or draw on the diatonic ten holes in the key of C major, the notes are d, g, b, d, f, a, b, d, f, a. The Score is one of the basic notes of the G7 agreement but it goes well with it. So when you draw the harmonica, you are basically playing a G7 chord.
When you play the harmonica diatonic how it was designed to be played, you learn to play melody notes that you cover and uncover holes with the other your language. With you, the tongue against a chord accompaniment to the melody and your cupped hands to create other effects, you really look like a small group. How ordinary people become the instrument a Blues Harp. In the 1920s, the harmonica players started to discover how to get a different sound. They found that if you played it backwards, using the rope to draw your agreement primary and the rope suddenly your side agreement, you have a blues sound. This is called rehashing cross. With your chords are G7 on the draw and C at the time, you play the blues on your harmonica in G C. This is This is called rehashing cross. Add more drawing technique to bend the notes and the amplification and you have the blues harp. When you hear made by an accomplished player, it sounds incredible that they leave such a simple instrument.
The diatonic harmonica is the first instrument that I learned to play. The first song I learned to play was “Oh Susanna”. I didn’t learn to play it as a blues instrument until many years later. I have a lot of free music lessons on my website but not on playing the harmonica. Now that I’ve written this article, I’m going to put one there. Until I do there are lots of free lessons on music and playing piano and guitar.
