It’s a terrible stormy day here so this is a great song to listen to. It’s so similar to something in the top 20 at the moment but I can’t quite feel it.
Any way.
I’m pretty sure it’s an F harmonica. Down the deep end is the intro just breathing in and out but it’s no clear to me, and the melody is something vaguely like this.
5 5 5 5 -4 4
-4 -4 -4 -4 4 -3
4 4 4 4 -3 3 3

If you get started you can probably work it out yourself which is a great way to learn.
If you just want to jam with the actual track then play softly and get the feeling first.
I hope one of the pro’s here will pick this up and sort it out. I take now offence and being corrected.
Maybe continue this in the WHAT SONG ARE YOU WORKING ON thread.

Hi Luke,
Thanks for creating this resource. I was looking for festivals for harmonica and this site came up. The suggestions in the forum have been helpful. Thanks!

Hi.
Tam from Ayrshire in Scotland.
I play mostly solo tuned tremolo harmonica or seydel ochestra 10 hole diatonic, or paddy richter tuned. I play Scottish & Irish folk music, and various other music. I play song melodies or fiddle tunes.
I also play other instruments.

Hi All,
greetings from Sweden. I’ve just got the harmonica bug and decided to join the B2B course. I’ve been playing tenor sax for a few years but now it’s time for something more portable :slight_smile: I look forward to talk to you all!

Hi Luke,

I am Paul from PA.

I love the course.

I am 70 years old with no music background.

I have learned a lot by going through all of the lessons in Beginner to Boss.

I am starting over and going through again because I’m not a Boss yet,

…more like a low level manager.:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Already picking up things I missed the first time.

These lessons are great !

Thanks for making this available.

Hi there, My name is Annika, I live in Sweden and I truly enjoy this course although at times I find it challenging. I will need to rehearse and go back in the lessons plans. The set-up of this course is perfect and Luke, you’re a very good teacher. Hopefully with some practice I will be able to play the harmonica.

Love & Light, Annika

If you’re style is blues than use 2nd position for harp key.

You got this Annika! :oncoming_fist:t3: Thanks for your kind words, and welcome to the forum. Rock on! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Hi everyone well I’m just new to learning to play the harmonica so I don’t have a lot to contribute at this point but I am looking forward to making a start today. I live in New Zealand. I’m young at 78 so I’m a late starter as they say, but I am looking forward to it. My father used to play the harmonica and I’ve always thought that I would like to learn. I do play the ukulele so there you are. I’ll let you know my progress. That’ll keep me on my toes. Thank you and best wishes.
