So, let's map out the chord tones on the harmonica. Remember, we're working in G major, and we're using a C harp. First, the one chord, it consists of G, B, D, and F. That is the root note, the third, the fifth, and the flat seven. You will find g on to draw, three exhale, six exhale, and nine exhale. You will find B on three draw and seven draw. You will find D on one draw for draw and a draw you We'll find F on to draw hold step and five draw and nine draw.
Do you notice something they're all draw notes with the exception of the six draw and the 10s row or core tones. That's good to know. The four chord consists of C, E, G, and B flat. Again, it's the root, the third, the fifth, and the flat seven. You will find C on one exhale, four exhale, seven, exhale, and 10 exhale. You will find e on to exhale, five, exhale.
And eight exhale. You will find g on to draw three exhale Exhale, and nine, exhale. And you will find B flat on three draw half step bend, and not very commonly used 10, exhale, whole step bend. Notice something special here as well. Well, all exhale notes are core tones. The five chord consists of D, F sharp, a, and C. Again, it's the root note, the third, the fifth and the flat seven.
You will find D on one draw, four draw and a draw F sharp, on to draw half step bend, and nine, exhale, half step bend. A on three draw a whole step back Six draw and 10 draw C on one exhale, four, exhale, seven, exhale, and 10 exhale. The five chord is definitely the trickiest. For this chord you need to find what works best for you. To utilize all the possibilities you need strong bending skills. But as you can see, there are options even if you don't bend at all.
Now I recommend that you memorize where the chord tones are on the harmonica before moving on to playing solos using chord tones. The next video is a me play an example playing a solo using only core tones.
