8 Beatles Riffs (Easy to Hard)

[@zas13d]

Many years ago I learnt to play guitar with the Beatles, and now I'm learning the harmonica with them! Thanks a lot and greetings from Russia!

I love your page so much. I have Let it Be pinned on my tiktok with a photo of my daughter. It helped when my father died, so I returned to it and took it to heart. I let it be. Thanks again.

You're welcome. It's my pleasure. Rock on! 😎

[@JB-rw9xt]

Good stuff Luke. Love Me Do sounds fuller with the double stops for my ears.

[@Harmonicacom]

Yes double-stops, splits, chords all increase blues horsepower. You and I and Joe Filisko all agree on this! 😎

[@lindaellen808]

My fave ever Beatles song, since the beginning, the harmonica makes it.

[@tatjbere]

The draw on the harmonica is much harder for me as playing single notes so I wouldn't say "I should have known better" is the easiest but great tutorials 👏👏

[@Harmonicacom]

Hmm. Are you using the deep relaxed mouth position? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZLCkoufZtZrpbs If you are, and you keep the back of the tongue and jaw, dropped and relaxed, you should be in good shape for low these draws?

Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it!

[@GrilloTheFlightless]

It’s my understanding that that John was definitely playing a chromatic harmonica on Love Me Do was a chromatic (you can hear in the second part that the notes have been achieved without bending). The legend has it that the harmonica in question was stolen by John whilst in Hamburg, but I don’t know if that’s true.

[@Harmonicacom]

Yeah the 2nd half undoubtedly is chromatic. I'm not 100% convinced that the opening line is played. The way he wails on the -5 sound like a diatonic to me.

[@winstongang2115]

Thank you Luke !

👊🏼 You're welcome. It's my pleasure. Rock on! 😎

[@catchall673]

FYI, From Me To You is in the key of C.

[@kyoban6673]

Great set of songs to play, could you teach any of Wall of voodoo songs with harmonica?

[@Harmonicacom]

Sure - Mexican Radio on a C harmonica: -6 -6 -6 5 5 5 -6 6. I'll do a Ring of Fire short. But do any of their songs actually have harmonica?

[@kyoban6673]

@@Harmonicacom Yes some of the songs on their album Dark continent like Animal Day for instance, also the singer Stan Ridgway plays harmonica on his solo albums after he left the band. The single Don't box me in, is great though he plays with a chromatic harmonica so I guess it's hard to play it with a diatonic.

Thanks for the quick response.

beautiful

[@johnbates1948]

That's great and I've learned something new with blow 3 = draw 2! But in the harmonica solo of Love Me Do ... all the notes are not there on a diatonic. Lennon told Brian Jones that he had a button on his harmonica?

[@Harmonicacom]

Hey John - Awesome. And yes, you are correct that Lennon played a chromatic on the solo, but it IS possible to play it on a diatonic as I show in level 8. Rock on my brother!

[@BDUBZ49]

I Should Have Known Better, Love Me Do, From Me To You, are riffs. The rest are just the melody of the song.

[@amadeugarcia723]

Yesterday... Are you sure about 5 and 6 at start ? It sounds odd...

[@Harmonicacom]

No, you're right. I simplified it. To play it the real way would require very difficult advanced techniques on a natural minor harmonica. I'll do a vid on "the real way" in the future. Having a harmonica customized to be able to play it!

I wonder what that harp would sound like using a microphone with a wah wah pedal hooked up ?

[@Harmonicacom]

Could be cool! Gotta try it!

[@jimdep6542]

@@Harmonicacom you know what else might be cool is using a microphone hooked up to some modulation effect pedal, such as the whirling Leslie sound in stereo.

[@darrellbennett3491]

Well playing harmonica through a wah wah pedal. You can get amazing sounds from it by using all types of wah wah sounds from crybaby to talk. I have a process pedal with four wah wah sounds. You will learn something new everytime you play through the pedal.

[@jimdep6542]

@@darrellbennett3491 I'll bet that would sound good. Do you know of any recordings of someone playing a harmonic through an effects pedal ?
