Single notes sound best here. The Lip Pucker technique is the way to go for that.

High notes can be challenging and you want to avoid a thin sound. Support from the diaphragm makes the higher octave versions fuller.

Let It Be

In this video, I demonstrate how to play Let It Be by The Beatles in both the lower and higher ranges of the harmonica. Both of which, present their own challenges.

On the lower range, a little bending is required for one of the notes in the melody.

The upper octave provides practice for sounding nice clear notes in the top end of the harmonica.

The song is in the key of C and we will play it in first position, so a C harmonica is needed.

If you have difficulties with the high notes, check your breathing.

Make sure you are breathing from deep down and keep your throat open.

Your shoulders are not required to play harmonica so keep them relaxed.

All the techniques required to master this classic are provided in your Harmonica Essentials curriculum of Harp N Guitar.
