Intro
Sweet Virginia was released in 1972 on the album Exile On Mainstreet and is a classic old Rolling Stones song that’s great to learn on acoustic guitar and harmonica. In this video, I go through an easy to learn guitar part and harmonica tabs.

Thanks for the email reminder of these songs George. They were too hard for me before but now I believe I might be able to get them under the fingers.
Love the way you teach them.
I love this stuff George. I play a Cigar Box Guitar and wanted to add some “color” to my playing and these harmonica lessons are just the ticket. I play mostly in open G so any lessons you have in this key I am looking for. Going to do the monthly membership with your site and can’t wait to get started. Keep up the good work.
