This is amazing

[@woogieman007]

This is an amazing cover, one of my favorite pop songs of late, Really enjoyed it, wish I could play overbend and overblow then I could get it sounding as great as this.

[@GreyOwl-Harmonica]

Thanks man, it was a fun song to play.A few pesky bends (draw 2 double bend; draw 3 single bend & draw 3 double bend but no overblows required fortunately.

[@woogieman007]

***** Brill now I just gotta learn is how to bend a note cleanly and I can play it :) also, Not heard it on harmonica before now. I do like playing pop on harp it's not just for blues, Amazing the fun and sound you can get from 10 holes.

[@anonimousrod]

Awesome!!! Could you post the tabs please?

Wow! like it so much :) you are great!

[@GreyOwl-Harmonica]

Hey,thanks very much Konstantin, it was very enjoyable to play!! Can't wait to hear your version of JUKE in 6th position.

[@wheelharp]

***** Now I think I must record something a little bit slower for better understanding of this position. So I started to learn "Sad Hours" but after that I will record "Juke" (I hope:))

[@GreyOwl-Harmonica]

Konstantin Kolesnichenko 'Sad Hours' is a good choice. You have probably learnt the notes already but there is a slowed down version on youtube:- kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqWXZ6Gle8qSr6c Never played anything in 6th!! Sounds difficult! Will you use Richter or an alternative tuning?

[@wheelharp]

***** thank you for tip! I've learned it before some time ago in 2 position so I know the notes and can transpose them into 6. I will play it in my easy chromatic tuning. But I must say that 6 position is interesting one and very overlooked in Richter also. It can be played like 2 with full blues scale with only one overblow (5 hole) in middle register. The tonics are 3 and 7 draw (its like 3-6 blow octave) :)

[@wheelharp]

***** BTW I forgot to ask you a question. How you learn vocal songs like "Happy"? By ear? If yes your ears and skills in melody recognition are amazing!

[@harpoldie]

Nice one Kieron.

Thanks David.
