I play with two stacked diatonic harmonicas in order to have the IV chord w=
ith a song.

For example, say that I want to play a song in the key of C. My main diaton=
ic harmonica would be in the key of C. That harmonica would give me my C (I=
) and G (V) chords for a song, tune, melody, etc.

Now the majority of songs normally have at least three chords: I, IV and th=
e V (Key of C - C, F and G). I would then stack a second harmonica undernea=
th the first or primary harmonica. This harmonic would either be in the key=
 of F (The I chord would be F - for my IV chord) or in the key of Bb (Which=
 also contains an F chord - for it's V chord). With two stacked diatonic ha=
rmonicas, I can play all of the major chords and most of the minor chords I=
 need in a song.
