Despacito Harmonica Cover

Here’s the hot Puerto Rican hit played on the harmonica. I used multiple harmonica parts to make it sound richer, played the chugging technique for the rap part, and fooled around with the effects a little bit :)
The Key of the song is Bm and it’s played on an A harmonica.
Here are the tabs for the chorus (played twice):
-5 5 -4 -3” -3” -3" -3” -4 -4 -4 -4 4 -4 -3’ -3’ -3’ -3’ -3’ -4 -4 -4 -4 5 -5 4 4 4 4 4 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 6 5] x2
And the bridge (* is used to indicate an overblow):
-6 6 -6 6 -6 6 -6 6 -6 6 -6 6* 6* -5 6* 6* 7 6* -6 -6 -6 -6 6* 7 6* -6 6

Right?

[@SudhirChauhanHarmonica]

Incredible!! 👍 Transcendental rendition! Which diatonic was this? I have recently bought a Suzuki promaster valved Bb.. could this be tried on that or do I need a different scale? Sorry but I am a novice hence the question 🙏

[@Tienuyan]

Different “key” you mean, and no, any key will do. What you have to worry is the backtrack to be in the key of the scale you will be using to play this.

[@Harmonicacom]

You want an A harmonica. The song key is B minor (3rd position.) Here's the tabs: www.harmonica.com/tabs/despacito-cover/ Aloha, Luke

[@SudhirChauhanHarmonica]

@@Harmonicacom Thanks Luke appreciate your response 🙏

[@SudhirChauhanHarmonica]
