How to Play Gypsy by Shakira on Harmonica

Did you know that Shakira is a harmonica player? She showcases her skills on her song 'Gypsy'. The harmonica solo opens and closes the song and it's a nice, simple melody (meaning it's great for all levels of harmonica player)*.

The original is actually played on a D♭ harmonica but to make it easy, I'll be teaching you how to play it on a C harmonica. What this means is that if you want to sound exactly like the original you'll have to play it on a D♭ harmonica. Not many people have a D♭ harmonica, which is why I am teaching you how to play Gypsy on a harmonica in the key of C. I've put some affliate links there for you. You don't have to use these; if you do I receive a small commission and it doesn't cost you anything.

*To fully imitate the solo, you do need to be able to bend. Click here if you want my free lesson on how to bend. If you can't bend and still want to give it a go, feel free.
