Keys of songs.

Hey. Could anyone tell me the different keys to any of MMJ's songs. Any song will do. I play Harmonica and I'm to lazy to find out on my own ;)

Just look at the tabs.  Whatever the first chord you play is, that's the key of the song (sometimes there are exceptions to that rule but I can't think of any in the mmj catalogue).  I think the only song that actually has harmonica in the original recording is Just Because I Do which is in the key of C (the most common key for harmonicas).  Hope that helps.

Also, don't forget to factor in the position of the capo if there is one.  So, for example, the first chord of Mahgeeta is E but there is a capo on the first fret so the song is actually in the key of F.  

You may want to play around with capo positions to fit your harmonicas and/or singing voice.

Who plays those harmonica parts?

Who plays those harmonica parts?

I always assumed it was Jim, he is the multi-talented one of the group.  No other musicians are credited in the linear notes so it would have to be someone in the band.

I always figured it was Jim or mabey Johnny but I've never seen either of them with one.  You would think that if Jim could play harmonica he would bust it out at least every now and then during his solo shows.
