What key is Stevie Wonder's harmonica?
I'm pretty sure he uses the same in all his songs with harmonica solos. I have a Hohner blues harp, but it plays on a different scale.
He usually plays a four-octave instrument similar to the Hohner Super 64, though he often plays adapted instruments. The Super 64 is only in the key of C. If you want to learn how a chromatic, click here: http://www.angelfire.com/music/HarpOn/index.html Compare this with how the Play Play diatonic harmonicas you: http://www.angelfire.com/tx/myquill/ The sharps and flats on a chromatic harmonica are not just for playing of the flats and sharps in the key of C. Harmonica players change positions on a C and use the sharps and flats at the chromatic to the key to get them to play. Your you better think about what you ask here. Go to Angle Fire Harpoon and look over how the chromatic harmonica is played. If you want to play in a key other than C, use the cut and flats. There are 12 notes in the Western scale, more or less equal distance apart. 95% of music is played in the Ionian mode. The mode has to do with the spaces between the notes. The key you have to play in the first and last note in the scale. The notes are: C Db D Eb EFF # G Ab A Bb BC in the Ionian mode, you play the first, third, fifth, sixth, eight, tenth, and 11th note in the scale. In the key of C equal; CDEFGABC The twelve notes are equidistant, not seven. If you scale the Ionian A key play your AB DEF # Ab Db A. There are 12 keys in music, so you would have 12 patterns to learn to play the chromatic harmonica all keys to lead. Add in 12 more positions for the fashion Aolian [minor keys] for the remaining 5% of the music in the U.S.. If you really want to be smooth, playing all 7 positions in twelve keys for 84 patterns of scales you learn. If this is not what you have in mind, I can not use the Chromatic. They are not very good harmonica. Influence expensive. Stevie's chromatic Hohner may have Super 64 was. It is only in the key of C. The Hohner 270 comes in about nine keys, and Seydel comes in about eight keys. The rest of the chromatic harmonica in the world are in the key of C, or maybe G.
