Hello and welcome to this week’s harmonica lesson, where I will be showing you how to play Just Your Fool by the Rolling Stones. This track comes from their new album – Blue & Lonesome. I definitely recommend you listening to it.
You will need a harmonica in the key of D, and we will be playing in 2nd position in the key of A.

Just what I was looking for! Thanks Tomlin!
Thank you so much for this one Tomlin. I have been enjoying your lessons for several months now, but this is particularly welcome and special as I was given the Blue & Lonesome LP (yes, vinyl!) for my birthday back in November and I have been listening closely to the harmonica playing on all of the tracks where Mick plays and trying to emulate them. This work of yours takes me that step closer a lot quicker! So thank you.
Hopefully you will see fit to follow this up with a couple more from the same album over the coming weeks – they would be most welcome!
Thanks again
Andy
Hi Tomlin,
thanks for this one, I got a copy of Blue and lonesome for Christmas and just your fool is the track that stands out for me. I plan to make a start on learning soon. I was reflecting on how much I have learnt from you already and would like to make a one off contribution, how can I do this?
The new website looks great.
Regards,
Pete
You Rock thanks
Hi Tomlin . Great tune and lesson, I learned the Little Walter version which is slightly different but Mick does a pretty good job of the song. I like a lot of the older stones songs with Brian Jones playing harmonica and was inspired by his playing style. Wish he was still around to do a take on this song.I have picked up a lot of useful info from your site and I thank you for it. Keep up the great work !
Thanks Dan!
