  • Here's a fun song to learn! Today I show how to play Mary Jane's Last Dance on harmonica. The Tab to this Tom Petty song is here: harmonicajoe.co...
    This is a great song for a beginner to learn because once you learn the pattern of blows and draws it's fairly easy to play.
    Although you will need a diatonic harmonica in the key of G, if you don't have one you can use any key harmonica to learn to play the song.
    Here's where you can get a key of G harmonica:
    Hohner Special 20 G amzn.to/2RMAHmQ
    Hohner Big River G amzn.to/34FViP0
    Lee Oskar G amzn.to/2zfoUXH
    I'm available for harmonica lessons over Skype. Simply send me an email to: joeplaysharmonica@gmail.com and we can get it scheduled! Lessons are important especially if you are just starting out so you don't learn habits that will make it harder to play down the road. I can help you with bending notes, playing single notes, playing in different positions, music theory, blues licks, songs you are trying to learn and much more! Some people only take a lesson or two when they feel the need and others prefer an on going schedule. Let me know your needs and we can come up with a schedule that works for you!

    I've been a drummer for years, started learning guitar over the past year and a half, and I smashed my finger today at work so I've decided to learn harmonica and this is where I'm starting man good video

    I’ve had a set of harmonics I asked for about 5yrs ago for Christmas. I never touched them until I decided to try this song. Hey! I can play a easy song on harmonic now! Now to see if I can play it while I play guitar. Thank you!

      Glad you liked it! Check out my video for the song “Piano Man”. It’s another easy song you can play.

      HarmonicaJoe.com I will I have always wanted to play my guitar and harmonica together. Maybe some Neil Young 😁. My band rehearses this Saturday and I plan on dropping the big HARMONICA PART on Mary Jane. We have always played that without one. Should be fun!

      HarmonicaJoe.com Fair. A couple of things gotta work on playing the guitar and harp at the same time. The other is it seems like the holder I have sits low so it hard for me to get down to the harp to play. It’s just one of those basic holders that is adjustable fore and aft. Maybe I have a long neck or slumps shoulders but isn’t Ergonomically friendly to me. Any ideas thank you

    Much mahalo for this great video! Super helpful! I’ve been playing this song on guitar for awhile, and always wanted to try the harmonica to accompany it. Your videos are easy to follow and I’m grateful for your slow approach. Sometimes I watch videos on TH-cam and the person is going so fast with the instructions, I just can’t get it. Your videos make it possible for others to pick it up. Thank you very much for your time and help. 👍😀🎸

    On this song I use a Lee Oscar Em natural minor harmonica. 1st Am(d.) 2nd Em(N) It sounds more like the song to me with harmony in the right key as opposed to a few notes clashing if blown side by side.

    Hi, the recording is either sped up or the guitars are tuned a half step up from standard guitar tuning in E, so I'm going to try an F# harmonica with regular tuning and see if that works.

    • @HarmonicaJoecom
      @HarmonicaJoecom  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I mention this issue at 0:43 seconds into the video. Most people play the song in A minor so you would need a harmonica in the key of G. You could try an Ab harp but it’s still going to be out of tune with the recording because the recording is in between A minor and Bb minor.

      @HarmonicaJoecom  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Victoria Lyall Too Late for Goodbyes is a good choice! I can show you how to play the melody because I don’t think there is a harmonica part in the song. I’ll see if I can put up a video on it and hopefully TH-cam doesn’t block it. Stay tuned!

      Play along with it and try to copy the vocal melody, that will give you a great start for a solo.
