Ok guys...I know the key is G and you start with Em, but now my question is this...I'm battling to get the song going with my Marine Band Harmonica 10 hole. I have keys C; G and D, but cant seem to get the correct starting point. My question now is this---> Is it possable that Bruce plays with an Em Harmonica?...that's if you DO get such a harmonica ?
You can get Em (and other minors) Harmonica's but I doubt Bruce uses them, like I said above The River is in Key of G. Most of Nebraska is Db (obviously the guitar is tuned down 1/2 a step). Sometimes the frustration is a difference in 1/2 step up or a 1/2 step down tuning thus requiring a # or b Key Harmonica.
