Building a working knowledge of a harmonica's layout is a real challenge.New players struggle to make sense of basic patterns, and even experienced players can find themselves lost in higher registers or different keys.
The Harp Guru gives you interactive visualisations to:
- Help you understand how your harmonica is laid out
- Show you the possibilities and limitations of each position
- Show you the possibilities and limitations of each harmonica
- Move your licks between registers with confidence
- Guide you past the discordant tones during improvisations
- Act as reference in all situations before you have a perfect mental model
Then Harp Guru helps you internalise all of this in to a mental model so you can improvise and change key confidently with your eyes closed.
There will always be another harmonica layout or position to learn though, and Harp Guru will be able to help, whatever combination you need to work on.
Featuring a comprehensive list of scales & tunings, all with the option to add valving setups.

This app is easy to use and it’s extremely helpful. I’m fairly new to the harmonica, being able to look up scales on harp guru while playing over backing tracks is my favorite. The information on this app has saved me years of research. Now I can just practice and have fun. I highly recommend this app to any one looking to get better at playing the harmonica.

Extremely versatile app for learning the harmonica. Been messing about for 6 months not making much progress, after hearing about and buying this app I'm leaning on it pretty hard. Reference it just about every time I practice. Whether you are a beginner and just want help keeping track of what notes belong in the scale/song you're learning, or getting deep into music theory, harp guru is the app. The Creator is pretty active on Reddit, is very interested in feedback and improving the app.

This app is exceptional for practice, visualizing scales and modes, and discovering the possibilities of positional playing. I use it as a visual guide when tuning harmonicas, and I use it to show my students various patterns on their harmonicas. I love it! It has a LOT of alternate tunings built in as well, which is a huge plus for me!

It's a useful program to quickly remind yourself where all the scale degrees of all scales in all positions on each type of harmonica are. I just wish I could display blows on the bottom and draws on the top, and, ideally, bends in between them.

I just bought this app and am optimistic this will be useful in learning more about modes and scales. As a future update, I am hoping a pitch tuner could be added for practicing bends in the given scale. Harmonic Tuner does this well, but only provides the blues scale for each position.

As someone coming back to the harp after a few years of plateauing, this app and set of videos has really helped me progress as a player. Glad to have these great resources to draw on.

Just what I was looking for, however it seems like the natural minor and harmonic minor harp layouts may be wrong, as Harp Guru shows the harp holes are 6 and not b6 (ie as shown the harps would be Dorian and melodic minor). The scale degrees are right, but the holes dont't match my harps. Otherwise, rad as hell!

I've actually only got one harmonica. This app makes me realise how much I could get out of it with a little practice. It also makes me want to buy some more though 😜
