  • Hey man work on your voice if you're not comfortable with it, I want to hear the rest! Your guitar skills are there and that harp is hauntingly beautiful. I would say this intro is the best cover of Cortez on youtube.

    What key is that harp and brand/model. I want to learn harp so I can play more of Neils songs.

    I heard this cover over a year ago but just never thought to post. I have listened to it a lot since then. Again, thanks for the great piece of art. Lots of emotion in this intro!

  • hello, thanks for your encouraging comment. It's a G marine band harp (honner). good luck with the learning

  • i'll second that request for the tuning...er and the chords if poss! great stuff.

  • if you look a little bit below I already asnwered ;) I'll repeat: the guitar has been tune in "double dropped D" or D-modal. Dropping both E strings to D.

    glad you like it!

  • Very nice. What key is the harmonica?

  • Hey thanks, it's in G
