How to read the chart
A 12-hole chromatic harmonica in C repeats a solo tuning pattern every four holes. Blow notes form C-E-G-C, draw notes form D-F-A-B, and the slide raises each note by one semitone.
Beginner tip
Start around holes 5-8 before jumping across the full instrument. That middle octave gives you C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and C without huge movement.
