Solo Acoustic With Harmonica Song Suggestions
New guy here. I've searched the forum, and have already seen some good suggestions, but I feel like there is more out there I'm not aware of or forgotten. I know, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, but who am I missing? Here are the covers I'm currently doing with harp. I have just as many originals I also play harp on. Thanks!

Anyway, I'll play harp on anything that's kinda rockin. One of my favorites is the Skynyrd version of T For Texas. Six Days On The Road is a good one too. I play In Color in Bb and play some straight harp on it. It can give a nice lonely feel to the song. Just use your imagination.

I was thinking "The Stones". Who's FSR?
Neil Young did a lot of harmonica songs. "Heart of Gold". .......Mike |

Folk Soul Revival. They tour a lot of the Eastern Seaboard and Sweet Virginia is a cool song. Check it out. https://youtu.be/KiwJdMDuzbI I use the harmonica on about any song that I feel needs a solo. Although it does work best in songs that don't step far outside a I-IV-V structure.

Ryans Adams has some great solo acoustics songs where he plays harmonica.
A couple that come to mind: Oh My Sweet Carolina Ashes and Fire |

Recent performance at Carnegie Hall of Oh My Sweet Carolina. E-flat harmonica Ashes and Fire, also E-Flat. Come Pick Me Up is another 3rd Fret, E-Flat harmonica tune. Very good tutorial on how to play the Come Pick Me Up harmonica part.

They are really good. I'm actually going to see them tonight with another great regional band The Whiskey Gentry. FSR's original drummer and his wife are good friends of ours and their 3 month old daughter was just diagnosed with SMA. It's an incurable condition and treatment for as long as she is with us is going to be extraordinarily expensive. Tonight's concert is a benefit for her. Great people in both bands. Be sure to look up the song China Town. By far FSR's most popular song and it'll be in your head for a long time. https://youtu.be/kwv0gdYP6m0 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glad I could spread them around a little more. The China Town video is with one of the founding members Allun Cormier who we lost tragically in a house fire right before Christmas a few years ago. He was a great songwriting and performing talent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
