I play guitar, and a little rusty, also am learning to play harmonica. anyone know a good site where I can pick up music/lyrics/tabs and d/l music (to hear what it should sound like.)

OLGA (http://www.olga.net/) Check out their chord generator...

Whole Note (http://www.wholenote.com/)

Harmony Central (http://www.harmony-central.com/)

As a side note, here's a Harmony Guitar (http://www.geocities.com/harmonyvintageguitars/h-14.html) just like one of mine. Mine is rubber stamped April 1, 1966 inside the pickguard and the paint job is chipped off in a few places after being played by a kid in the 60's then beat around in someone's closet for 30 years...Ahhh..I'll just throw it in here...WHAM...Also have a 1967 Kustom 2x12 speaker cabinet in great condition and still in use, with Emminence speakers I got in about 1992 at the same time I got the cabinet.

Hit google and search for lyrics or a specific song name, you'll find plenty more.

Vic,
For general 'blues', use the '3' step method.

Band in 'A', Harp in 'D' (b-c-d)
Band in 'G', Harp in 'C' (a-b-c)

In music, the next letter after G is A (again,,,;))

One I forgot...Check out this Chord Chart (http://www.guitarnotes.com/guitar/notes2/ultimate11.shtml)

This one (http://www.co-acoustic.com/acoustic/chords.html) is pretty good too.

I guess that rules out Blackfoot's "Train Train"...

Dylan might work, Neil Young had some pretty good stuff on his Harvest album and some of the others, J. Geils Band did some good tunes way back when, and one of my favorites is Travelling Wilburys. (Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison.) Handle With Care from their first release might be worth checking out, and I think Robert Palmer's "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley" had some good harmonica in it but the guitar might not be easy...

For one of the best harmonica parts just to listen to, Morton Buffalo's work on Bonnie Raitt's song "Runaway" is one of the best I've ever heard. I saw her do that one live once on TV, he used 6 or 8 harmonicas, pulling them out of every pocket in sight, (wore a trenchcoat) plus a 2" long job on a necklace for the last 2 high notes...

Seems I remember a 60's group called the Harmonicats who did some awesome stuff with harmonicas too, but you'll probably have to search for a while to find any of their albums these days...

That's about all I can think of...

Cat Stevens--(Tea For The Tillerman), Seals and Crofts, Donovan's early albums. With harp, uhmmmm, basically that would be Mr. Dylan and Ritchie Havens, and Arlo Guthrie too I think. You don't really hear that much more harp until Paul Butterfield. Try the early country artists before they went to big production music. Someone mentioned Neil young, actually all his guitar work is simple, as is much of D. Crosby--try listening to them live on the "Four Way Street" album. That excludes, of course, the live electric jams--fantastic stuff that. See if you can find a LIVE and a studio version of Stills doing "Black Queen" It might be on "Four Way Street," I forget.

Now, if you really want to learn to walk on water--Live Cream, the long unedited version of Crossroads (12 minutes) and Spoonful (35 minutes). Don't even hold your guitar, just put the vinyl on and listen, each time listen to a different instrument (only three there believe it or not).

A lot of the early Beatle harmonies are remakes of Glenn Miller chords, done by George Martin (he freely admits it)...the "Yeah, yeah, yeah" harmonies in "She Loves You" is the blantant stand out there.
