2nd Position Explained
Chart of Harmonica Keys & Positions

This section contains "General Overview" topics which include: a brief comparison of diatonic vs. chromatic harmonicas, basic 1st and 2nd position harmonica theory (how and why to play your key of "C" harmonica in either "C" or "G"), and a "Chart of Harmonica Keys & Positions".
  • Be sure you've read- through the Beginners Start Here section and have the correct type of harmonica before going any further.

  • For additional "position" information and charts- visit the Theory section for much more information on the different positions that can be use on a standard diatonic along with additional charts and graphs describing how to use this info when playing with others.

  • For definitions of musical terms- visit the Terms & Definitions section and get the musical definitions of words like diatonic and chromatic. Both of these terms have meanings outside the world of harmonica.
