Hehehe, well I played sax on the recording of Carolines Eyes recently, so it makes sense for me to play harmonica if I were able to make it to a Deadloss gig!PS: Mr Jack, your services are required for recording soon, could you get to work on some drum parts for my tunes!?

Plato the Greek Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 I don't know anything about music or harmonicas, and this may sound incredibly ignorant, but I assume harmonicas are 'made' in different 'keys'? Are they? Phil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they? Phil?[/quote']If you'll allow me to interlope in Phil's absence, then yes, they are. Sort of. Theer are two types of harmonica -Chromatic - which has all the notes including semitones. These can play in any key, as you can use sharps and flats to fit the key.Diatonic - These have a more limited number of notes, basically just the simple notes of one particular key, like your Do Re Mi stuff. So if the song is in the key of A, then you need to be playing a Harmonica in the key of A. This is why you see Harmonica players with either their pockets, or special cases stuffed full of moothies, as they have to choose the right one for the song.This arrangement is further complicated when playing blues harmonica (blues harp, as it's known) as to get get the characteristic 'flattened notes of the blues scale, you need to use a different harp from the key of the piece. Typically if the song is in A, you would need to use a D harp, to achieve the necessary 'blue' notes, with the second hole, drawn, becoming the root note of A. This 'blues harp' is usually used in 'rock' music too.Hope this helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the mart of darkness Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 my, you're a clever one!i'm always shocked to find proper musicians such as phil (and frosty jack by the looks of things) roaming the deadloss board...its in the key of d summat or other (as with just about every deadloss song these days).would be v cool to have phil as sax and moothie guy. let's write a song with a melodeon solo. i imagine he owns one.why's ziggy moving to auld reekie. does he want to be near me?xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
