Quick Note About the Song Levels

All of the songs in this songbook require the skill to play single notes (the ability to play only onenote at a time). Because I consider playing single notes an intermediate level technique,

even the simplest kids' songs will be rated at an intermediate level (essentially, I dont

consider playing songs a beginning level skill). My DVDs are full of beginning level jams and

exercises that are super fun, sound great and will ensure that you develop good habits by

learning to walk before you learn to run. I highly recommend you practice with my DVDs

before playing the songs in this songbook (unless you feel confident that you are properly

using the deep relaxed embouchure while playing single notes).

Introduction

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Youve taken a huge first step in creating your dreams for playing the harmonica. Im honored

that youve given me this opportunity to support you on this musical journey.

The way I look at it, were in this thing together.

If you succeed, I succeed! Since the majority of my students just want to play for their own

enjoyment, I define success as: The satisfaction YOU get when you play music that makes

you happy!

Because I want you to succeed in enjoying the harmonica, I highly recommend that

you play through my first few DVDs before trying to learn any of the songs in this

songbook.

My experience teaching for twenty years has shown me that students have the highest

level of success if they develop good habits prior to learning songs. Most harmonica

teachers encourage students to learn songs right away and I believe that this can be a recipe

for failure. Im confident that playing through my DVDs first will be the quickest way for you to

play the songs you love because you will develop the essential skills you need first that way

you wont get frustrated.

I have found that many students develop bad habits if they try to learn songs when

theyre not yet ready. Many students are so eager to learn songs that they just cant wait.

The choice is yours and I respect your free choice. If you're having fun learning songs and

you're staying relaxed, its probably fine, but if you're finding that you're struggling and getting

frustrated please come back to learning songs after youve played through my DVDs first.


6/63


Suggestions for Learning Songs

1. Use a 10-hole Diatonic Harmonica (thats the most common 10-hole harmonica withoutany fancy stuff or a button on the side). You can play all of the songs with any key harmonica

you choose. If you want to play along with a band or an original recording, you will need to find

out the key of the song and use the appropriate key harmonica (refer to the Blues DVDs for

understanding how to do this).

2. If youre trying to learn a song and its not going well, move on to a different song thats

easier for you. I personally found many of the advanced songs in this songbook challenging, so I

expect you may too.

3. Instead of trying to learn lots of songs, you might find it helpful to focus your energy on

one song that you love. Pick a song that is easy for you and play it over and over. You may

even want to memorize it. Then you can surprise your friends and relatives when youre ready (or

just play it for your own enjoyment). I recommend you play the songs that you are familiar withand skip the ones you dont know.

4. FEEL FREE TO BE CREATIVE!!! When I learn songs, I always assume theyre not written

exactly correct and I give myself the freedom to add my own touch. I like to use harmonica

tablature as a guideline. For example, when the same note is played twice I sometimes like to

play it only once and sustain it with a soulful feeling. So, whether youre playing the songs from

this songbook or if you're finding songs on the Internet, I recommend you give yourself the

freedom to change the notes so they sound right to you.

5. Be patient with yourself. If you are having difficulty playing the 2-draw hole or the 3-draw hole,

youre not alone. Most students find it very difficult to create a clear sweet note on these holes (so

your harmonica is probably not broken. Refer to my DVD, Finally Learning to Bend, for extra

support on these notes). Holes 8, 9 and 10 can also be very difficult.

6. Use The Finger Trick. As explained on my DVDs, you can use the finger trick if youre notconfident that you're on the right note. Quick Review: Use the pointer fingers (index fingers) of

both hands to physically obstruct the undesired notes so that only the note you want to play is left

unobstructed. This trick still helps me sometimes, so Im guessing it may help you too.

How to Read Harmonica Tablature

The easiest way to learn harmonica tablature is to study the examples below. They all involveplaying single notes (which means playing only one hole at a time). If you dont already know

how to play single notes and to be able to confidently jump from one single note to the next, I

recommend playing with my DVDs before proceeding.

When playing the harmonica tabs in this document, the key to the notes is as follows:

1 means blow on hole number 1

-1 means draw on hole number 1

4 means blow on hole number 4

-4 means draw on hole number 4

45 means blow on hole number 4 and hole number 5 at the same time

-45 means draw on hole number 4 and hole number 5 at the same time

The "+" symbol is also a common method for representing a blow note. It is used occasionally to

familiarize you with this system.

1 or +1 means blow on hole number 1

4 or +4 means blow on hole number 4

Bending(Refer to my DVDs for deeper understanding and to be able to play these advanced techniques)

-2 means play 2 draw bent down a half step

-2 means play 2 draw bent down two half steps

-2 means play 2 draw bent down three half stepsNote:Some harp tabs use the letter b instead of the ' to represent levels of bending.

Quiz:

To see if you understand the chart above, here is a little quiz.

What note would you play for the following examples?

Example 1: 5

Example 2: -7

Example 3: -12

Example 4: 9'

Answers:

Example 1: 5 means blow on hole number 5

Example 2: -7 means draw on hole number 7

Example 3: -12 means draw on hole number 1 and hole number 2 at the same time

(Did you remember that, because were playing a 10-hole harmonica, there is no hole

number 12?)

Example 4: 9' means blow on hole number 9 and bend it down a half step
