My My, Hey Hey - Neil Young harmonica lesson for Bb diatonic harp

[@Learntheharmonica]

Apologies for the sound! The video got blocked (after years of it being public) and all I could do to make it public again was to block the bits where the song plays. Hopefully you still find the lesson useful!

[@elijahmonn3757]

I’m watching this again, because it’s quite tricky. Especially playing the guitar as well 😃. On watching it again I’ve realised how good a harmonica teacher you are. You break it down extremely well.

[@Learntheharmonica]

Thanks!

[@divyanshgirigoswani2793]

I am so happy now, its been almost 1 week practicing this song and now finally i can play it on harmonica... You are a great teacher. Thank you soo much. And if you are doing any online classes about harmonica please tell me. I really want to learn this

@Dax Deandre I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@andresaries9267]

@Dax Deandre it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my ass !

Bravo Liam!!.....great to hear ANY Neil Young lesson!!

[@Learntheharmonica]

Thanks Ian! :)

[@guitarjoe411]

thank you for the lesson I've tried to learn before to no avail. but you have explained it so I can understand and I got the first line memorized already. though the real trick will be to play it while playing my guitar.!! thanks again.!!

[@chrisfreeman7703]

Hey brother Really nice job, starting to teach my kids, and learning myself... did you do a video on Neil’s “Sugar Mountain?” Or could you please tell me what key harmonica for that song from the “Live Rust” version? Thanks way much for any help

[@Learntheharmonica]

Hey Chris, I've not done a lesson on that one but it's a good idea. From a quick listen it sounds like G to me :)

[@waynecaswell5727]

Really enjoy your Neil Young. Can you do a Like a Hurricane lesson?

[@Learntheharmonica]

Great suggestion!

[@elijahmonn3757]

Hi Liam. I’m playing it on guitar starting with an Am then G and F/A . I’m assuming this version is in Am? Not Gm. Would that mean I could play it in C as C is the relative major of Am?. Cheers for your help. I now firstly go to your KZbin clips. You are the best to learn these harmonica rifts. Cheers again Brent

[@Learntheharmonica]

Hi Brent, yes if you're playing the song in Am then you could use a C harp. Cheers. Liam

[@roythomas-erhard5199]

Neil is playing a guitar dropped down 1 whole tone. Am=Gm, etc. The relative major to Am is C, hence dropping it down to Bb. Hence the Bb harmonica. If you want to play in Am natural tuning, yes use a C harmonica. But this guy nails it. Probably learn it in Bb, then grab your guitar and play it in natural tuning with your C harmonica. Hope this helps Elijah Monn

[@pablosanhuezacastro6993]

Thanks Liam for your help!! excelente clase!!

[@Learntheharmonica]

My pleasure!

[@deadman983]

Thanks for the free lesson. Could you teach us a song called “ I know it’s a sin” by Jimmy Reed. It will be very much appreciated. I tried looking it up but it’s hard and you explain songs very well. Thank you for all the lessons

[@Learntheharmonica]

Thanks for the request, I'll check it out and see what I can do!

[@seccondmousegetsthecheese4205]

Good luck! Cheers. Liam

[@jerzy004berry9]

Could You Please advise from which position I should start if I play on G harmonica.

[@davecollett4912]

Hello there! Really enjoying your lessons, I've been learning and playing razor love by Neil young on guitar and would love to learn the harmonica piece. Can you help? Many thanks for the great lessons d

[@Learntheharmonica]

Thanks Dave, I'll have a listen and see. I do hope to do more Neil Young in the future so hopefully I can get round to it :) Cheers. Liam

[@marcopolo2715]

I can die now... thank you so much!!

I have changed my opinion on this video. Well done

Awesome, thank you

You're welcome!

[@ricardobennett2722]

Excellent. thanks!

[@Learntheharmonica]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rossco7214]

for solo number 2 the best way to start it is a quick, very brash 5 and slide up to 7

[@rcfanatic]

Liam thank you so much for creating this lesson. I used it to learn this song during Covid and stumbled back upon while trying to find what brand harmonica Neil uses. Do you know what brand his harmonica is or how he achieves that distinctive tone? Part of it is playing slightly rough but even his cleaner notes have a distinctive richness to them. I thought it might be an album production thing, like separate harmonica track etc but even in his live shows it is still present: kzbin.info/www/bejne/goKUY2aKaN93aM0si=YRHvPZFgkegrJoYe Could it be from using a microphone? Thank you again.

[@Schaapje123]

Do you think Neil uses tongue blocking for his single notes?

[@RikklesFisher]

Great lesson! I have a request you may or may not have heard before, you know the Juicy Fruit song on the commercials? I haven't found any tabs to that song and I think it would be a cool one! Just an idea, keep up the good work!

[@Learntheharmonica]

Thanks, I don't know the song but I'll check it out!

[@RikklesFisher]

LearnTheHarmonica.com one version I found that has a bit of harmonica in the background there's lots of versions of it, it was a popular song on commercials back in the day it's something most people would recognize in Canada here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eprTkIeee9udgas

[@tonywalker6210]

Hi Liam, who blocked the video, was it one of these 'copyright' infringement and monetising scammers?

[@Learntheharmonica]

Yeah it's happening more and more now 😢

[@eisleycruz9534]

Does the bflat harmonica is the same with key of b harmonica?

[@BigJ7922]

Would the guitar part be played in Eb?

[@BigJ7922]

How the hell do I find a guitar part to match! Please!

[@audreyhorne8221]

Can I use this tab to play it on my harmonica C? Sorry I’m a beginner I want to really play this song but don’t know if this will work

[@Learntheharmonica]

Hi Audrey, yes you can use any key of diatonic harmonica. I have posted a bit of an explanation here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn2wqWicnpp0rtE. Welcome to the world of harmonica! Cheers. Liam

[@ISXOVER]

Thanks!

[@Learntheharmonica]

You're welcome :)

[@thurstarca4995]

Could i use a Bb Harp, besides a Gm Harp in 4th position? 😅

[@devansh1727]

Hello! I have a request for you. Can you please post a video on I'll Be There For You by The Rembrandts? And nice video! Keep up the good work...

[@chrisfreeman7703]

Hey yo, anybody out there help me out... is that a straight “blues harp” ? I’m looking at a Hohner B flat diatonic harmonica, but I see a country tuned, a harmonic minor, and a blues harp... a bit confusing when you don’t know. Trying to make sure I get the right one. Thanks much for any help 🤙🏼

[@Learntheharmonica]

Hi Chris, yes it's a standard 10 hole diatonic harmonica in "Richter" tuning which is a normal blues harmonica :)

[@chrisfreeman7703]

@@Learntheharmonica Hey brother, thank you very seriously much. I got my first one right, a B flat diatonic I picked up in the Nashville Guitar Center... a Hohner Blues Harp MS-Series. I’m learning Neil’s solo to My My Hey Hey and playing it on my guitar, a really cool Gibson L-00. You’re a really seriously great teacher brother, just amazing help. I’ve got my 3 kids I’m bringing along and trying to teach as well, Twin boys almost 11 and a daughter almost 9. They’re all great singers and comfortable with pitches, and all learning guitar... we’d love to have you come aboard and be our rudder and help steer the ship on this new adventure... we’re driving back to Nashville Friday to start their spring break, and we’re gonna load up on harmonicas. Any and ALL advice would be hugely appreciated. Any links to purchase lessons or anything available to help us please lemme know and a massive thank you for the help already. We’re starting Heart Of Gold this weekend. Peace brother 🤙🏼

[@alxb.5467]

can i play it in G or in C and it will works?

[@Learntheharmonica]

Hi Alx B., yes you can use any key of harmonica - you only need the same key as me if you want to play along with the original. That's the beauty of tabs, you can pick up any key of harmonica and just follow the same tabs to play it in that key. Hope this makes sense! Cheers. Liam

[@alxb.5467]

@@Learntheharmonica Thanks a lot! But if I want to play along the guitar, do I need a capo on a certain fret if I play it with a G harp? Thanks again!! great video as always

Amazing!

[@Learntheharmonica]

Thanks GardenBouncer!

They're easy to get online, from Hohner/Suzuki/Lee Oskar/Seydel.

Amazing lesson Liam. I love NY's music and he is very melodic in his harmonica solos. Trasher' solo is epic. I invite you to come by in my channel and give a listen to the harmonica solo I play in my song "A espera de uma onda".
