I've performed this song many times and I use a harmonica as well.. Thats actually the best part of performing this song

[@Learntheharmonica]

:-)

[@tonymac6508]

Thank You, I am not musical, but learning this is helping me to to help someone else in my life. Any help in a turbulent time is worth so much.

[@danwatkins6303]

I was eight when I first heard the Hollies play this on the radio. It mesmerized me then and still does. Thank you so much for your lesson. I'm learning this on guitar at the moment and just love the harmonica on this song. Keep up the good good work!

[@Learntheharmonica]

Nice one Dan Watkins, good luck with the song and thanks for watching my video :)

[@imjustasbadasu]

Cheers mate! Well done, of course and thanks for the lesson. All the best to any who read this

[@Learntheharmonica]

Thanks, best of luck with your playing 😎

If you're trying to follow along on a C harmonica, I think this is the tab for the intro: 4D----6D-6B-5D-6B-4B-4B And here is the solo: 4D----6D-6B-5D-6B-4B-4B 5B-5B-4D-4B-3D----3B-4B----3B-3D**---- The double asterisks indicate a full bend on the three draw.

[@HenchmenNo616]

Wait why is the last part crossed out? Does that mean ignore it?

[@aaronlopez4643]

Doesn't sound equal. Can you do a tutorial?

[@AnnaPark90]

God bless you

Tommy Morgan was the harmonica player on this track.He was a famous session player and played on many famous hit records without most folk even knowing who he was, or still is I hope.He once replied to an e-mail I sent him and I was starstruck.Jim.Liverpool.

[@Learntheharmonica]

Nice! Is he still around?

[@curleyteeth]

Yes he is still alive.In his eighties now.He is probably the most heard harmonica player of all time.Amazing.Jim.Liverpool.

[@supersupersomething]

Thanks man, the info on the bending and sliding was especially helpful since that little extra really lets me hear character in the song. :)

[@Learntheharmonica]

You're welcome Tim, glad it helped you :) Cheers, Liam

[@GabrielGonzalez-to7lg]

[@frankstidham1439]

Exalent, very helpful. Thanks.

[@Learntheharmonica]

You're welcome Frank, thanks for watching :)

[@AlexMck68]

thanks mate was a great help knew i was hitting a wrong note it was the 5d

[@paultivy1456]

From the tone of it on the record, it sounds to me like it's played on a chromatic in C, starting on 5 draw. That way you can easily bend the first note too.

[@Learntheharmonica]

Hi Paul, Thanks for your comment, you may be right. I hope you enjoy learning it on the diatonic! Kind regards, Liam

[@michaelolaskey9564]

Hello, will you consider doing tabs for Jerimiah was a Bullfrog by Three Dog Night..? Not the Christmas song Joy to the World. Every Harmonica Tab that says it’s the Three Dog Night song is the Christmas song… Thank you… 🙂

[@trevorburgess5595]

I want to play this in g flat , I got a g flat harmonica but it doesn’t seem to work there’s a note missing ???

[@Learntheharmonica]

Hi Trevor, which note are you having a problem with? If it's a low note, watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGrVoGOMYs-hfpI If it's a high note, watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaK5ZYlueceYp7s If it's still not working, there may be a problem with the harmonica but 99% of the time it's a problem with technique. Cheers, Liam

[@Caddowolf]

Thank you!

[@Learntheharmonica]

You're wlecome Frank, keep blowing! Liam

[@bobbybongo5918]

Thanks buddy!

[@Learntheharmonica]

+Bobby Bongo You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@frankborowinski1443]

I play a chromonica but have not got the bending if it"s posible if i were to get a chromonica in G would i get the notes instead of bending my harp is in C?

[@Learntheharmonica]

You won't get it to sound like the original if you're playing a chromatic. It is possible to bend notes on the chromatic, but it's a different mechanism that doesn't produce the same timbre of note. If you use the slide/button, you can find the "missing" notes but you won't have the bending sound between the notes, so again it won't sound the same. Hope this helps.

[@aaronlopez4643]

Thank s. Beautiful song. I am trying to play this song in my father's grave.

[@clothedinsalvation]

I would play that on a E flat harmonica

[@harlowcyclingpage731]

I'll try to get a G

[@samierathum2913]

What harmonica to buy?

[@Learntheharmonica]

Here's my harmonica buyer's guide - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYacfpqvpN2pa6ssi=HkqbTlVxnrlU8RTj

[@alfredlopez8472]

All keys my friend!

[@neilneilrebel]

Is that in C harmonica?

[@Learntheharmonica]

Hi Neil, it's a G harmonica.

[@neilneilrebel]

LearnTheHarmonica.com oh man! I only have c harmonica. Thanks anyway.

[@RickRubinesque]

That's a low G isn't it?

[@linkedup7346]

You're really good. I love this song and plan on performing it solo playing acoustic guitar. You're blessed with the musical pitch to be able to sort these parts out. Listen to my album, "Lucky 7" www.lubolink.com

[@andhyandhy8254]

Hey Liam, please make the vocal version like this kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5XHoXiOpLWYh6s. Or just the TAB in this comment. Thank's

[@zesvo]

Please don't call a semi- tone "kinda a full step'

[@Learntheharmonica]

+jivan bansi I suppose that is a bit confusing! Wasn't aware of the terms half-step and full-step when I made this. They've always been semi-tones and tones to me. Cheers, Liam

[@gongoraeventos]

Thank you!

[@Learntheharmonica]

You're welcome :) Cheers, Liam.
