Viaene 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2010 Hi guys You might know I play the harmonica, and I noticed some of you do too. I'm looking for some nice songs/cool riffs to play. I only own a diatonic harp in C, so I'm mainly looking for songs in C or G. So far I got this small list: Piano Man - Billy Joel Hoochie Coochie man - Muddy Waters Once upon a time in the west (main theme) Not much indeed Thanks for your help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brad_M 3 Report post Posted August 2, 2010 I'll give you some songs I know that have harmonica in them, Visine, but I don't have the time to find out what key they are in, too. I'll let you figure that out. "Run Through The Jungle" - Creedence Clearwater Revival "You Don't Know How It Feels" - Tom Petty "Mary Jane's Last Dance" - Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers "City Girls" - Roger Clyne And The Peacemakers "Feelin' Alright" - Roger Clyne And The Peacemakers "Ashes Of San Miguel" - Roger Clyne And The Peacemakers "Long Train Runnin'" - The Doobie Brothers (Nice harmonica solo in this song) "Roadhouse Blues" - The Doors "I Should Have Known Better" - The Beatles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
