Neil Young's 'Pocahontas' was originally released in 1979. It's a great song. In 1993 he released his Unplugged album which featured a version of Pocahontas. This is a great version for harmonica players because it contains 4 awesome harmonica solos.

So, in this free harmonica lesson we are looking at this live version of Pocahontas, and we're learning all 4 harmonica solos. Each solo is relatively short (just a few lines), making them easy to learn and memorise.

You'll need your C diatonic harmonica. I recommend a Hohner Special 20 in the key of C. If you don't already have one, you can get one by clicking here*.

The harmonica tabs are on the video for you to follow. If you want the free, printable version of Pocahontas by Neil Young harmonica tabs, click here.
