How to play harmonica for beginners?
Beginners usually purchase a diatonic in the key C and start learning how to hold harmonica the right way. Learning the tonguing technique as well as playing single notes are very important. If you can read music notations, start practicing that, otherwise you can make use of tabs for harmonica. Figure out what style you want to play: Blues, melodies, fills, country harp, etc. In order to get the most beautiful sound out of your harp, you will most likely require professional assistance. Once you learn basic music theory, you’ll be able to improvise on your own riffs. Learning the basics of rhythm will further take you into your harmonica learning journey.

Playing chords on a harmonica
Chord is a set of 3 or more notes sounding simultaneous. All harmonicas including diatonic harmonicas can produce several chords. The most popular chords are major chords, minor chords, and seventh chords. Since you cannot play plenty of chords on diatonic harmonicas, it is unlikely to be used in accompaniment with other instruments. Harmonica players usually play chords as arpeggios. You need to know the individual notes that make up a chord when you wish to play arpeggios. Beginners usually play chords when they try to play a single note. With practice and guidance from expert mouth organ instructors, you’ll easily master playing chords effortlessly.
