G'day welcome to Tune Basics the series that teaches you how to play the basics today we'll
be looking at how to play that Aussie classic Waltzing Matilda and how to play it on a diatonic
harmonica only in this tutorial I'm going to show you how to play it with bends so let's
take a closer look at phrase one blow into to five four times
breathe in through four twice
and practice this until you end up with something that sounds like this phrase two blow into
four
breathe in through four
blow into five
blow into four
breathe in through three but bend the note to produce the A
then breathe in through three again to produce B
and blow into four
and practice this until you end up with something that sounds like this
for phrase three blow in to three blow into four
blow into five
blow into six four times
breathe in through five
blow into five
and breathe in through four and practice this until you end up with something that sounds
like this for phrase four blow into four
breathe in through four
blow into five three times
breathe in through four twice
and practice this until you end up with something that sounds like this
now phrase five is exactly the same as phrase two
so let's move on to phrase six blow into three
blow into four blow into five
blow into six
breathe in through five
blow into five
breathe in through four three times and blow into four
and practice this until you end up with something that sounds like this
for phrase seven blow into six four times blow into five
and practice this until you end up with something that sounds like this
for phrase eight blow into seven three times

For phrase nine blow into six three times
