For Harmonica - Single Notes: The harmonica solo line should be played as single notes. Chords don't really work for this.
Everything you need to get up to speed including single notes is covered in the membership video series Harp N Guitar Harmonica Essentials

Guitar - Chords: Bm can be problematic and require some practice. The other chords are common. A great lick comes out of arpegiating the chords.

Things To Note

The vocals should be sung up an octave but that's beyond me.

This was recorded in my studio in Nanaimo, British Columbia in November 2011.

If you learn Eighteen, record it and let know where I can see it.

Stay in tune my friend.
