Too Young to Die by Sonny Boy Williamson Blues Harmonica Lesson on G Harmonica + Free Harp Tab

Sep 14, 2016 | Intermediate Harmonica Lessons

Hello and welcome to this week’s harmonica lesson where I will be showing you how to play Too Young to Die by Sonny Boy Williamson.

You will need a harmonica in the key of G and we will be playing in 2nd position in the key of D major.






Structure

You will notice that the structure is a little bit strange. It is not a standard 12 bar blues. Instead, there is a 2 bar break (with no backing) after the first 4 bars of the I chord, before the IV chord.
