Viaene Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 one of my newest discoveries Ezra Furman & the Harpoons uses harmonicas in every song I heard so far example Take off your sunglasses Smile ~ Pearl Jam Take It From the Man ~ The Brian Jonestown Massacre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuzikTyme Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Hmmm I've always thought that a good song is made even better with harmonics or, in this case, a harmonica. One of my favourite harmonica songs is simply this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
