Hi there, Liam Ward here at LearnTheHarmonica.com. We're going to be looking
at the Beatles let me do today and so it's gonna be a quick lesson we're just
going to look at the little intro to the song and and it sounds something like
this and so that's the entire the entirety of the piece and I'm on AC
harmonica so if you're an absolute beginner and you've just got a C
harmonica from the shop and that's going to work fine for this it's a really good
tune for beginners to be having to go up because it being on C harmonica so and
if you follow to my videos in the past this is going to be I think the first
video where I'm going to use a new tab system and but it's just as well it's
even simpler than the old one so you'll get used to it and but you'll see it on
your screen and we'll talk through it anyway and so the piece starts on five
draw and so our first line is so five draw five blow four draw and then it's
to draw or three blow I put two drawing the tab but you could play three blow
four times so five draw five blow four draw and then to draw four times so it's
all to do with that timing getting this right so it's one two three four
Dada Dada aunt aunt aunt dot dot dot and and ANCA
and so you've got to get used to that timing especially those four two draws
in a row and it's getting used to that is can be a little bit tricky so you'll
see from my new tab system that a number on its own um is a blow note and with
the minus sign before it the negative sign
that's a draw note and so that's our first line I'm kind of sliding down from
that to the four draw to the to draw by which I mean I'm probably playing a
little bit of three draw between the four draw and those two draw notes and
so I'm sliding so that's an option or you could just play it clean either way
it's going to sound something like this one two people so second line it's
actually the same but we've got a three notes on the three earth of five draw
and the five blow instead of one note and like we are in the first line the
second time we you're going Dada Dada Dada Dada
again you got together timing right and you've got to get the band back that so
the five draw three times and then the five blow three times one two three four
Dada Dada Dada Dada Dada and and and Dada Dada Dada Dada after the boom boom
boom bah so so far we've got and then our third line now this is a bit tricky
because you've got to switch quite quickly from a to draw to a four blow if
you play a three blow instead of a to draw and they're the same note and so
they you'll get the same sound it does make that jump a little bit easier so
you might want to choose to play the three blow here you might find the three
blow easier to play as an absolute beginner as well if you are a beginner
and so the line is my five draw five blow four draw and then down to two draw
would you play three times so it up to that point is the same as line one but
then instead of playing to draw for a fourth time we go to four blow and three
draw so it goes like that
and it's quite quick too
so that's our third line and our final line is just so combined with line three
and line four so it's just - draw - draw - draw - draw - draw four blow three
blow like that and so again that final line is all about the timing I think I
played an extra note before but that's definitely right now explain five notes
so the second to draw on this final line is held a bit longer so putting all
those lines together you get and that's your full piece for the intro - let me
do by the Beatles good luck practicing this take it slow
at first and build up the speed up to full speed in the end I'll be back
something out soon so keep your is and eyes peeled and I'll see you soon Cheers
