Welcome to this video where I show you how I play Neil Young’s Heart Of Gold on guitar and harmonica. Ok, Heart Of Gold, in the key of G, moderately slow and I use a G harmonica for this. If we’re in the key of G, it’s not blues it’s just G major so I use a G Hohner Special 20. Key of G is what you need. The song starts off with the opening riff. The signature riff which everybody’s heard. Now I’m just going to show you an easy way to do this. It is basically using the E minor chord. So it’s E minor and it is basically hammering on the chord. So, this being E minor – 5th string, second fret and 4th string, second fret and it basically takes each note and hammers it on. So it starts with the string open. In this case it’s going to be the 5th string open which is A and then it’s going to hammer on to the second fret of the 5th string which is B. A to B.

Awesome lesson, thanks! Just getting started on the harp after 15 years on the guitar! havin a blast!
Hi Bocatino10. I don’t soak my harps and don’t recommend it especially if it has a wood comb which can swell when soaked.
When I’m done playing, I tap the harmonica into the palm of my left hand, hole side down to get rid of moisture and then put it in its case.
On occasion I will dismantle and clean up a harp with a qtip and rubbing alcohol.
Thanks for asking. Cheers, George
