Description
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.

Ratings and Reviews
Needs a written manual/tutorial
I’m a beginner harp player, so this app is used only to replace paper note charts. I’m sure it will be more useful as I advance in skill.
I really appreciate the app respecting my privacy by not collecting data. I do not purchase apps that do, or buy subscriptions.
The app really needs a written manual. The YouTube videos were hard to get to, and did not help.
Overall, a great effort by a small developer. 5 stars when there’s a good manual.
A great learning tool.
A huge amount of thought and planning went into this app. I am using it to learn more about positions on my harps and different tunings. I combine it with some of Jason Ricci’s lessons to “look” at the theory Jason is talking about, and I use it to explore different tunings before (and after) I buy alternate tuned harps. The more you use it the deeper it goes in what it can show you.
iPhone format issue addressed
This is an awesome tool for the beginning harmonica players as well as advanced and performing players. With appreciation to the developer, the image formatting issue on iPhones has been addressed! First, make sure your accessibility text size increase function is “off”, and then rotate your phone -180degs to avoid the famous iPhone screen “notch”. Your set!

Just an FYI, with the latest release you shouldn't even need to modify your font size at all to use the app. It should just work "out the box".
