Members NeverTheMachine Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 I know ..... songs that are in the Key of G. Anyone know specifically off hand what Dylan songs are in G? Wasn't sure where to take this thread, but I figured there are quite a few of the acoustic type in here who may play harmonica. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rsadasiv Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 Apparently you can play "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" with an E harmonica. [YOUTUBE]S1TKUk9nXjk[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blue2blue Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 Basic answer: you can play any Bob Dylan song that doesn't require complex modulation/key changes. If you have a C harp, play your songs in C. Unless you want to play cross harp (aka, blues harp), in which case you'd want to play your blues in G and use cross style on the C harp. And then there's slant harp, but that's a bit esoteric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Okieslims Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 If you change the key of the guitar they might sound good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mpeddle Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 It's actually a pretty easy instrument to get "okay" at. Not easy to actually be really good. And, actually, the most recognizable harmonica songs tend to be very easy (Dylan, Neil Young, etc). I find that the layout of the harmonica makes it very easy to play by ear as well.

Members Blakemore Effects Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 The cover version my band used to do of Like a Rolling Stone let me play harmonica in C. Basically, just play the chords along with the song, and in the chorus play the organ part on harmonica. It's in C, it's easy, and everyone loves it!

Members Delmont Posted March 16, 2016 Members Share Posted March 16, 2016 All of them. They can be sung in any key, so they can be played in any key. But I wouldn't play cross-harp to Dylan if you want to imitate his style. If it's in G, play it in G, not C. Save the cross-harp for blues and 1-4-5 rock.
