Harmonica Tune Tabs
This page contains many harmonica tunes, played at normal and slow speed, along with harmonica tab. The beginners tunes are to get you started, the intermediate tunes continue the journey. The advanced tunes are American and Irish traditional tunes. Experienced players will be challenged by these.
The harmonica tab for all the tunes provides a guide, however you must memorise the tunes. The musical scores and harmonica tab show you which notes to play. Learn these tunes by listening to them, and try to play without looking at the harmonica tab as soon as possible. You will sound MUCH better if you do this.
What you get:
Each tune includes:
The harmonica tab
A musical score (i.e. the dots), with chords
The tune played at full speed (by me!), with separate backing tracks at full speed and at half speed.
The tunes are played up to speed, and may be difficult to keep up with at first. Not a problem..
Press the settings button on the audio player, choose half speed (0.5) or three quarter speed (0.75). Important: return the speed seeting to "Normal" once you have finished. Otherwise all the Harmonica Academy audio players will be slowed down.
All of the beginning and intermediate tunes are played on a 10 hole diatonic harmonica in the key of C. Some of the advanced tunes use harmonicas in different keys. However, for these advanced tunes, midi files are provided in C, at half speed and full speed, for those who only have a C harmonica.
