Playing Along To Recordings in C Major

Nothing can be more fun than playing along to your favorite recordings. Since you already like the recordings they can inspire you to play when you lack confidence or motivation. And since you have one of your favorite backup bands behind you can't sound too bad. You can try to learn the melody or simply improvise. All you need is to make sure you are playing in the same key as the song. Here is a list of songs in C major you can play along with your on C harmonica. They all have links to youtube videos so you don't even have to buy the albums to play along with. No more excuses, start playing.
