0:47 - Harmonica Key and Tabs

The song is in the key of D minor so we will use a C harmonica which puts us in third position which works well with songs in a minor key.

The two challenges to playing this riff are the rapid alternation between draw 6 and draw 8 as well as playing single notes.

This riff can also be played down the octave but requires a double bend on draw 3. That's for another lesson.

Peace. Stay in tune.  George
