Hi. Did you mean to say "4th finger, 2nd fret, first string" at 7:08? Had a hard time placing my pinky on the first fret for an A6.... almost broke it. Hehe. Kidding. Beginner guitar player here. Thanks so much for your tutorial... very clear. Keep up the good work! :)

Absolutely brilliant, harmonica goes great with it. Helped to get the strumming right too, thanks a lot!

I really enjoy your tutorials- they have helped me a lot- how about a cover for Wild Horses?

[MrDorkusMaximus]

Excellent tutorial.

So did I catch that right, that you are playing a D harp, which would be straight harp? Please, correct me if I've got it wrong. I'm just curious, why did you use straight harp instead of cross harp, (which I believe would be G)? Is it because you can't "wah" the harp notes while your hands are busy playing the guitar?

Lastly, I don't know how anyone without two brains can play the harp and guitar at the same time. I've tried many times, and given up many times. :-)

Peace

@MrDorkusMaximus Excellent question.

The song is in the key of D and it's not really a blues song though the chords are I, IV, V like a blues song. It's more based on the major key. Most of the licks that Mick Taylor is playing in the original recording are based on the major pentatonic scale. You could play cross harp here with a G harp for soloing over the chords but run into a problem when trying to play the melody of the chorus which requires the note C# which is on a D harp but not G

Thanks George. Very impressed. I am a harp nut and was pleased to see you explain how harmonica and guitar can compliment each other subtly. Into guitar now and will be following your instructions with pleasure.

[GeorgeGoodmanDotCom]

@belleray2 Alright, thanks. I hope it all helps. Cheers
