Careful with the timing

This is not a massively challenging tune to play but you do need to get the timing just right. It has a slightly odd pattern where the first lick starts on beat 4 then the second lick starts on beat 1. This alternates all the way through until Lick 5.

It might feel quite unnatural to play like this at the beginning so make sure that you spend plenty of time listening to the whole thing first so that you get really comfortable with the timing.

Thank you

See you again for the next harmonica video!
