Harmonica Play-Along - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers

What a banger! This song was released in 1988 and is The Proclaimers' best known song. In fact, according to Wikipedia, The Proclaimers have said that this song alone earns the band about five times more than all their other songs combined.


In this free harmonica lesson, I am playing the song in a different key to the original and with a low harmonica (I'm using a Hohner Thunderbird).


You'll need a harmonica in the key of F (or low F) to play-along with my video.


If you want to play-along to the original track (which I've included at the bottom of this page), you'll need a harmonica in the key of E (or low E).


You've likely got the harmonicas you need but, if not, here are some links to harmonicas you might want. You don't need to use these links; if you do I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
