Hello! In today's play-along harmonica lesson we'll be playing 'You've Got A Friend in Me' from Toy Story on a diatonic harmonica in the key of C. Grab your C harp and play along to the tabs on the screen.
Did you know? Nasty kid Sid is said to be inspired by a former Pixar employee who was known to disassemble toys to build strange new creations out of them.
Here are the tabs to You've Got a Friend in Me (Toy Story):
