Special 20 in F
In this video I'm playing a Hohner Special 20 in the key of F. I often play through a Shure Green Bullet microphone Model 5200 and Fender Super Champ amplifier

Video Intro

Today we're going to look at an old Supertramp classic, Take the Long Way Home and work on the harmonica part.

We'll pick out the harmonica we need for this and go through the tabs on it.

Take the Long Way Home is in the key of C and we're going to play it in second position. So the first thing you need is an F harmonica which when played in second position makes the C chord down on draw 234.
