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.

You can find a downloadable version of the chords, lyrics and harmonica tabs under the Help Files tab above.
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.
